Tilt up the earth patent

There is a famous saying in the American patent field: "Anything new under the sun can be patented."

Now the patent consciousness is getting stronger and stronger. No member mentioned it before, but now without a member, you can't watch videos, listen to songs and read novels, and many of them are resources only available on exclusive platforms, so you can only buy one member for your favorite TV movies. It is normal for other people's creations to have patent fees, because this is their creations, but no one has ever said who owns the earth and who owns the sun. Only by discovering an asteroid that humans have never discovered before can we name it after the discoverer, which is also the supreme honor. However, some people took advantage of the loophole and applied for the sun to be owned by individuals, trying to collect the sun use fee.

The sun is our light source and energy. Without it, plants can't grow and the earth will be extinct, but there is no law that the sun can't be privately owned. The Outer Space Treaty promulgated by the United Nations stipulates that no country can claim to own any planet or star, but it does not stipulate that individuals cannot own it. This is a loophole, which was discovered and exploited by Spanish woman Angela Duran. 20 1 1, Angelus Duran applied to the government for a patent, taking the sun as her private property. The government did not respond to her application, and she had no right to decide that the sun belonged to her. Later, she applied to the United Nations, but the United Nations approved her application, because her application did not violate the provisions of the United Nations, and the sun really became her private property.

Arguably, the sun is hers and should be satisfied. But Angelus Duran continued to apply to the United Nations, and everyone had to pay her a dollar for the use of the sun every year. This has affected the interests of everyone in the world, and the United Nations is embarrassed to ride a tiger and regret its decision. I really can't help it. The United Nations can only withdraw the previous approval and cancel her private ownership of the Sun, but it also compensated Angelas Duran with 500,000 dollars as compensation. And this incident also made Angelus Duran see the signs. Some companies took a fancy to her ability to find loopholes and hired her at a high salary, so even if there is no sun royalties, she will not worry about her income.

Maybe it's just a farce for everyone, but Angelus Duran has gained great benefits from this farce and has no worries about eating and drinking in life. In fact, the patent is really important. Take a straw for drinking milk as an example. It came to me when a child in Japan was ill in hospital. He folded his clothes around the corner so that he could turn in different directions. Now, I think this is a very simple thing. Do you still need to use your brain? But before the straws came out, no one thought of the idea, so every straw had to pay a special tax to the little boy. This is the role of patents. So at ordinary times, we can also use our brains more. Maybe we can inadvertently find unique ideas that only we can think of, and then apply for a patent, whether it can be mass-produced or not, which is a kind of pride. China still lacks China's patents in many aspects, and there is still a gap with foreign countries. We must continue to work hard to develop science and technology and catch up with powerful countries.
