Said idiots might justify the term "intellectual property" because aspects of these exclusive rights do have analogs to one another and to real property. For example, nominative use of a trademark and fair use of a copyrighted work can be compared to easements on real estate. The scenes a faire doctrine in copyright is analogous to prior art in patent and genericide in trademark, which in turn is analogous to a lesser extent to laches in patent and copyright. This introduces perhaps the most accurate expansion of what "IP" means: "imperfect parallels".
At my previous job one project manager didn't understand how I could put servers that were located in our office "on the Internet".
"The Internet is like the telephone network. If you have a phone line running to an answering machine in your office, the answering machine will accept calls from someone across town or across the country. Likewise, a server in your office can accept connections over an Internet line."
Did you use an analogy like that? If so, how did your project manager take it?
But to many people, our modern technological world might as well be magic.
That's why Jesus of Nazareth taught with analogies: people understand them.
Did you know that using a song, that you haven't gained permission for, as background for your video is still copyright infringement?
Let's say I, as a video producer, want to go about this the legit way. I would need to obtain a sync license from the song's publisher and then either commission a cover version or obtain a master license from a record label. So once I have identified a song's publisher, how should I go about approaching this publisher for a sync license?
Or let's say I want to go about this a different way by writing my own music for the video instead. But there have been several notable cases of accidental infringement, such as Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music, Three Boys Music v. Bolton, and Gaye v. Thicke. How can I identify whether a song that I wrote is in fact original before I publish it, which would open me to lawsuits for accidental infringement?
The local government shouldn't be pulling the power lines. It should be laying conduits so that private companies can buy the conduits and blow power lines, fiber, or what have you.
Legally, the license is to move the vehicle on a public road. No license is required for operation on private property. So the vehicle would need some way to detect when it is on a public road.
To my knowledge there aren't many games that are overly reliant on a patent
The patented games I can think of are Dr. Mario, the loading minigame of Ridge Racer (despite prior art of Invade-A-Load), Dance Dance Revolution (in fact the whole rhythm genre is a patent minefield), Crazy Taxi, and Doom 3 (which contains a shadow algorithm licensed from Creative).
That and the Uniracers case, where Pixar sued Nintendo and successfully convinced a judge that Pixar had the exclusive right to the concept of a CGI animated unicycle.
I think tomxor might have been confused about the extent to which copyright covers characters as such. The statute itself (17 USC and foreign counterparts) is written to cover works of authorship.
By "IP", I assume you didn't mean "Internet Protocol" address. Did you mean copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or something else? If "yes", which? because these are different areas of law.
How can a game company know whether it's unintentionally using the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, or other exclusive right of some other game company? I have the feeling that refraining from using any character names, likenesses, locations, and events is not enough to avoid "directly using the IP", as shown in the Sega case mentioned above as well as Konami v. Roxor and Tetris v. Xio.
But how can someone determine what is original before publishing it and inviting the world to sue? The Simpsons: Road Rage was not a Crazy Taxi game but still got shut down by the makers of Crazy Taxi.
Where's the part of the problem that I'm expected to solve? That I was born in a particular country, which allows printing names on receipts and encourages car dependency, and lack the financial resources to leave?
Besides, the U.S. DMCA doesn't ban circumvention of DRM if the DRM is primarily controlling access to something other than a work of authorship. Lexmark v. Static Control Components.
If in this hypothetical situation, the previous owner had had Apple IOT installed more than seven years ago, the patents would have expired. Or if the current owner would keep the house longer than average, the patents would have expired.
I fully agree. At this stage, producers ought to be allowed to use proprietary means to comply with the standard so long as 1. there is a standard and 2. they do comply.
Yes, and the monopolies he was talking about were government chartered monopolies.
So is the monopoly conferred by a grant of patent, such as Apple's patent on the Lightning connector. So is the monopoly conferred through an exclusive utility franchise. All of these are government-chartered monopolies.
The xkcd comic makes the not-entirely-founded assumption that the new standard won't be good enough that two or more older standards will cease to be competitive.
Besides, Switzerland is just harmonizing to the power plug rules of the neighboring European Union, which already requires smartphones to come with a USB micro-B receptacle. This may take the form of an adapter with a proprietary plug and a USB micro-B receptacle.

OpenJDK is 100% compatible with the Java public APIs.
Does this mean Swing apps will run on Android?
It was an admitted typo: the user meant every homeless man, woman, and child. How does this sub-2 percent vacancy rate compare to the homelessness rate?

Don't directly use the IP of a game company.

The correct spelling is whatever the official American publisher (Sega of America) decides it is, and it was released as Shenmue here.

The photo, height, weight, and eye color are there to make it harder to get away with fraudulently driving on someone else's "simple certificate".

There's little case law on the extent of the interoperability exception because DRM hasn't been around for longer than one 20-year patent term.
I'm referring in part to an incident with Julie Bass in Oak Park, Michigan. Grow a victory garden, go to jail.

If people don't want to pay Apple's prices they can purchase a different phone.
Until Apple finishes its "thermonuclear" plan of suing the Android phone market out of existence.
