CNN; In tech, patents are trophies -- and these companies are dominating
[Kip Currier: This CNN article has a link to an interesting 2 min. 6 sec. video, "Patents: A history of innovation", highlighting some examples of U.S. patents, from the 1st one--to a Philadelphia inventor for potash in 1790 and signed by Pres. George Washington--to the 10 millionth, issued to a Raytheon employee on June 20, 2018.]
"Google, Apple, Amazon (AMZN)
and others are pushing forward with a range of new patents touching on
artificial intelligence, cloud computing, drones and virtual reality,
according to an analysis of patent activity late last year from CB Insights.
"I do think more recently, companies -- especially startups -- are
realizing that just being a cool application is not enough," says Ethan
Kurzweil, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. They want to be
"inventing some core piece of technology, whether it be AI, machine
learning, autonomous driving, or computer vision. ... Patents will
matter a lot more in those contexts.""
