Some people say that the right to knowledge is only profit, and the purpose of the right is also profit. Therefore, Nanjing Huaxun can see many patent disputes, including the past familiar patent disputes between Samsung and Apple, Huawei and Cisco patent disputes between ...... There is also the industry familiar around February 2016, the famous chip manufacturer Marvell agreed to pay Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) $0.75 billion to end the US patent lawsuit between the two sides since 2009. The $0.75 billion compensation amount also refreshed the new height of patent litigation compensation in the computer field.

For this reason, CMU announced that the Marvell $0.75 billion will be deducted from the legal fees and costs of the lawsuit, and most of it will be distributed to inventor Professor José Moura and his student Aleksandar Kavcic (now a professor at the University of Hawaii), while Carnegie Mellon University expects to take only $0.25 billion of it.

It can be seen that from the result of this patent dispute lawsuit, the right of knowledge has been reflected to the maximum extent. After all, the patent inventor has obtained the bulk of the compensation for winning the lawsuit, which not only embodies the right of knowledge, but also gives full rights to the patent inventor. The value of the two U.S. patent inventors involved in this case is fully reflected by the high compensation benefits.

Speaking of these two 6,201,839 and 6,438,180 patents related to hard disk noise elimination technology, through normal and legitimate litigation channels, you can actually get the greatest respect. It can be seen that the rights and benefits of knowledge ultimately depend on whether there are reliable laws and regulations and implementation processes to protect them.

Therefore, we should not only ask a question about the right of knowledge, why can two patents be worth 0.75 billion US dollars, while several other IT patents in China are worth as much as a feather?

A friend who worked in a chrysanthemum factory told me that he also had several patents in the chrysanthemum factory, but the royalties paid to him by the chrysanthemum factory using the patents were basically negligible.

What does this show?

Even if there are reliable regulations and enforcement processes to protect the knowledge rights of knowledge people, it is futile without a reliable pricing system and rules for the value of knowledge.

Respect for knowledge is easy to say, but we still have a long way to go to realize the value of intellectual rights.

Perhaps, everyone wants to get free knowledge, so how to talk about the right and benefit of knowledge?
