A copyright attorney in the audience expressed sympathy with Robert Lucky's comment about the establishment of technology standards and the inability of it&D-intensive companies to capture fully the benefit of many years of investment when the technology it has developed on a proprietary basis suddenly becomes the international standard.

If you look at the time span from the application for intellectual property protection, to the discovery of an infringement, to final litigation and eventual resolution, one could go through over that time span three or four product generations or product cycles; perhaps as many as 30 improvement patents; and in the case of biotechnology, perhaps three or four progeny generations.
