Patent Trolls As Parasites, Yaniv Heled

Yaniv Heled

This short commentary piece suggests that patent trolls may be better understood when viewed as analogous to biological parasites. Understanding patent trolls in this manner may help in explaining the patent troll phenomenon and in setting realistic expectations in the fight against them. It may also explain the difficulty in designing perfect solutions against patent trolls and why we must not be discouraged by this fact in our efforts to curb their harmful effects.

Traditional Culture V. Westernization: On The Road Toward The Rule Of Law In China, Haiting Zhang

haiting zhang

Meaningful studies on China cannot ignore traditional Chinese culture and its influence in the country. A study of the rule of law of China is no exception. Generally speaking, China is not governed primarily by the rule of law. China has traditionally been an agrarian state—a characteristic that has historically fostered a strong family system.
