For the United States, the promulgation of a series of patent laws and other intellectual property laws starting in 1790 enabled patent laws to begin to be widely used in the commercial field. The first patent was issued to Samuel Hopkins of Philadelphia for "Soapmaking by Potassium Carbonate and Pearl Ash" - a simple soap-making equation. Due to the almost linear growth of patent law, more and more new industries and inventions are being born. And patent law itself continues to grow in length, as courts increasingly favor patent owners. For a period of time after that, there was some temporary opposition to this trend, mostly due to the introduction of updated antitrust laws or urgent national needs, such as World War I and, more typically, World War II. And this fact itself deserves reflection: patents may (or may not) apply to a specific field of research or to an entire industry (this point - translator's note), and never as a spontaneous, well-informed, and well-organized branch of legislation The choice of the results on the page (something that I can’t understand). It always affects legal decisions bit by bit, through small legislative reforms, so that it can meet the "needs" of industry and be monopolized by "requirements", ah, no, protect it. And in the mysterious political economy, by what means one mature enterprise succeeds another, and the patent rights continue to develop due to the persuasion of potential dictators who exhaust the ability to invent and fear emerging powers and foreign competitors. , then we need to use another book to discuss it.
Translation postscript: It’s so tiring~ I’m just a high school student, so I’m probably 80-90% right about the translation… Generally speaking, there shouldn’t be much difference. Every word is translated with care! Thank you
