incentive-to-design-around theory

Read a random definition: disparaging trademark

A quick definition of incentive-to-design-around theory:

The incentive-to-design-around theory is a concept in patents that explains why it's important to grant patent rights. It suggests that by giving someone a patent, it encourages others to come up with better or cheaper substitutes and improvements. This theory is different from other incentive theories like the incentive-to-commercialize theory or the incentive-to-invent theory.

A more thorough explanation:

The incentive-to-design-around theory is an economic theory that justifies the granting of patent rights. It is based on the idea that patents encourage others to design substitutes and improvements that are better or cheaper.

For example, if a company holds a patent for a particular product, other companies may be incentivized to design around the patent by creating a similar product that does not infringe on the patent. This competition can lead to better and cheaper products for consumers.

The incentive-to-design-around theory is one of several theories that support the granting of patent rights. Other theories include the incentive-to-commercialize theory, the incentive-to-disclose theory, and the incentive-to-invent theory.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
