In the US prior to the GATT treaty; or should I say signed on to the WTO (World Trade Organization,) the patent terms on a utility type invention was 17 years of ownership, monopoly, and protection granted for the inventor from the time the patent was granted. That meant that the term didn't start ticking away until after the patent pending period and the patent was granted. The patent pending process usually took two to three years, (the time from when the patent applications were filed to the time when the patent was granted,) before the term would start to tick away. The GATT treaty changed the terms to 20 years from the time the application is filed. Therefore: the clock is ticking as soon as the application is filed and during the patent pending process when there isn't any protection that would guaranty return for investment. Since the clock is ticking as soon as a pending application has been filed; the thought of corporations supplementing the private inventors as an effort to get the clock ticking is almost none existent. Instead of helping an inventor during the patent pending process, industries are prone to make sure an inventor can't afford a patent attorney during the patent pending process and sabotage one’s ability to secure a patent. The ITO failed in 1950 but GATT Treaty survived became know as the WTO (World trade organization.) in 1994.

If you can't handle the thought of reading about how corruption truly works. MyStupidRules.com is designed for the people who actually like true story telling.
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." A realization came to me once one of these guys who fallow me around with phoney rumors mentioned the term, "character assassination."

The Part -- You May Not Like
Although we're more than a pack of animals, we should to think about the natural selection part of the existence of all living things. Natural selection has been taught in biology classes as by the way the weak, ill, and confused get eliminated by their natural predators. The strong and brightest are known to be the naturalbreeders that keep the species in existence. Consider this: About 1/3 of the patent applications are filed by private inventors and from my knowledge the numbers come to at least 200,000 patent applications filed by private inventors every year. The success rate of a patented inventions actually making it to market and being profitable is around 3-5% Since private inventors don't have as much funding as the large corporations have; it's my guess that the private inventors don't file on every little thing they come up with -- just to crowd an area where a discovery might take place at a later time -- as many corporations are known to do. It's my estimation that -- in the market place -- the success rate for inventions patented by corporations is about 3% or less. Since the private inventors have less funding, they are less likely to file on an invention that is unlikely to generate profits in return. Therefore the inventions patented by private inventors are more likely to have a higher success rate range of 5 to 10% of being successful in the market place. We should think about the danger the private inventors are in because of the way the GATT treaty changed the patent terms. If only half of the private inventors with patents pending on inventions that would be successful in the market place are getting knocked off. Then the number of the private inventors ending up dead could be around 5% or let’s say 10,000 every year. They are the people like Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, and Stephanie Kwolek who are disappearing from this earth every day. Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar at Dupont; her boss told her to forget about it. Tell the cops who wore cheep imitation fiberglass ones to forget about it. And how come we don't hear about any inventors who invented something substantial anymore? Think: 10’000 divided by 365. Those numbers reveal that there could be over 27 private inventors dropping dead every day. Now -- I have to admit those numbers may be just a bit exaggerated, but the underground has done some research and determined it's probably a lower percentage, as around 2% to 3%. But another factor to consider brought to my attention one day by a lady in Santa Cruz while we were discussing these numbers. She said she knew of a whole family that had disappeared because of an invention. I figure their must be about a dozen inventors dying each day. And with their spouse and 2.2 kids disappearing along with them; that would put it right about 50 people who possess excellent gene pools who are vanishing from the human race each day. With a 2.5 % death ratio – the deaths that may be accruing because of the way the patent terms are set up – would come to around 18,250 every year. Ask yourself: How many New Yorkers' on 9-11's is that equal to? (About every two months.) I wouldn’t be surprised if you're thinking about how the media has dramatized 9-11 and made us fuss over only a few thousand deaths -- something the politicians obviously consider a commodity, or as one might say -- just spilled milk. These inventors and their families are the top notch thinkers of this world and I consider them the front of the pack of humans that we are. If we continue to kill these people, we will learn that we have selective bread the human race and become dumber by the day. No matter how much money we spend on education, the loss of the valuable gene pool with good common sense can't be reversed. You may think that it means you'll be one up on the next guy, but you'll still have to wonder if your daughter will bring home a moron. We the human race may either become extinct -- because of the selective breeding -- or just a bunch of babbling idiots. We worry about the last sea lion and the spotted owl, but we show no concern for the well-being of the human race itself. For instance; we already have computers performing functions that the designers don't understand how the functions are being performed; they just know that the computers are performing the functions. This is what I mean; the computer is already out smarting us and I feel that is not only dangerous, it’s flat out scary. You may be wondering just as I, as to how many inventors have died because of the World Trade Organization and its GATT treaty?
