The prevalence of intellectual property rights has improved the enthusiasm of creators and scientists, but it has also spawned some opportunistic guys. For example, there is a woman abroad who secretly applied for a solar patent and wanted to collect solar patent fees from human beings all over the world. What is her final outcome? Let's have a brief look. As we all know, the sun is the foundation of human existence. If the world loses sunshine, the earth will become a dark area, and almost all animals and plants will disappear. For human beings, the sun is public property, and no one is qualified to apply for a patent for the sun. However, this woman successfully exploited the loophole of the law and applied for a patent for The Sun.
This woman is from Spain. She likes reading. One day, she was at home watching the Outer Space Treaty issued by the United Nations. In this book, she found an obvious loophole, so she applied for the sun as her patent. Not only that, she also obtained relevant certificates through some special means. Then, she used her own patent to publicly declare that she would charge the sun use fee, otherwise people all over the world would have to pay.
Such a declaration was particularly shameful and soon caused an uproar in the media, but this Spanish woman was not ashamed, but was particularly arrogant and continued to spend money on hype, which attracted more and more attention. Everyone thinks that this woman is just grandstanding, so there is no need to take it seriously. As a result, I didn't expect the patent in her hand to be true.
Later, the United Nations sent someone to contact her and asked her to withdraw the so-called solar patent. At the same time, the United Nations also admitted her negligence in her work. Finally, the Spanish woman gave up the patent right at the cost of 500 thousand dollars. Because of this, she became a celebrity in Spain and was called the most flawed woman in history.
