This channel is a place to discuss and debate all forms of intellectual property. I know more about patent law than other types of IP, but it's all interesting and relevant to crypto and tech in general. So whether you hate it or love it, share your thoughts about IP here.

We’ve reached a decade since shifting to first to file — did we lose any benefits by abandoning first to invent? Certainly created a firestorm in the world of CRISPR.

The CRISPR thing is funny bc that was a massive legal battle over who invented first that got tons of publicity and that will probably never happen again. First to file is just really simple and easy.

A potential downside could be: inventor A invents X first, but can’t afford to file; inventor B independently invents X after A and files. A loses out. However, in reality I doubt this happens much, since A can file a pretty cheap provisional app and keep their rights pending until they can get financing.
