It’s literally about stealing the IP rights. Tech A is possible, they don’t know how to do it, but they publish a paper saying they made tech A. Now when MIT in collaboration with a Fortune 500 company develop tech A, they challenge it in court and they US is forced to reveal the tech.

They might even own the IP when it’s all said and done.

The USA loses 250-600 Billion dollars in IP theft every year to China.

Remember Segway? They started manufacturing plant in China, which stole their IP and made hoverboards with LEDs and a million other things and they were so wildly successful in the knockoffs that when Segway sued them for blatant IP theft, they decided to just buy Segway. Proof (Segway bought by Ninebot.)

What are you talking about? China gives zero fucks about IP rights. The US would also not reveal shit to them either when it comes to game-changing energy sources that could power our new military endeavors like optical weapons, energy weapons, etc.

I’m talking about a way to steal the IP through our own legal system. Basically, they patent something even if they don’t have a working prototype, force a US company to reveal how they did it through a lawsuit, and then steal it.
