There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting more. The problem comes when your happiness depends on having more. I recently posted on LinkedIn that we seem to be always striving for more. More money. More time. More enjoyable work. More. One of my friend’s comments on that post really got me thinking. She said she found this constant striving a “fascinating cultural phenomenon.

Boredom is good for you and might just be the secret key to getting your life back on track. Normally I pepper my articles with data from carefully researched scientific papers and quotes from reputable writers in established magazines, but this one is different. This is from the heart. People outside of law don’t think of it as a creative field.

Yesterday, the United States Intellectual Property Alliance (USIPA) issued the results of a nationwide survey designed to determine the level of intellectual property awareness among American adults.

Systemic-level studies and data regarding impact on investment and innovation, as detailed in Part II of this series, are not the only way to demonstrate the substantial harm that the current state of patent eligibility has inflicted on the U.S. innovation ecosystem.
