Baisse d’impôt pour encourager la commercialisation de propriété intellectuelle

Inspiré par la tendance internationale qui encourage la détention et la commercialisation de biens brevetés (Patent Box), Québec innove et met en place la Déduction pour les sociétés manufacturières innovantes (DSI). Les entreprises qui ont bénéficié des crédits R et D pour fabriquer du matériel ou de l’équipement faisant l’objet d’un brevet pourront bénéficier d’un taux d’imposition réduit à 4 % pour les revenus qui en découlent.

On this day (+2) in 1876, one of America’s most celebrated inventors was to learn the promise and punishment of punctuality. His name was Elisha Gray and he had already moved interactive communications light years ahead. He had invented an automatic relay for the telegraph which sped up communications by half. He then invented a trans-printer which read Morse code and printed the words in typeface. Partially inspired by the ease and speed provided by Gray’s inventions, the telegraph business took off.

That led to capacity constraints and demands for a telegraphic super highway. Since there was no fiber optics at the time, they needed something new. Gray decided to try sending simultaneous multiple messages by using a different musical tone for each message. It was ingenious….but still had a few bugs. And, while Gray worked on them, word spread that his new system had a special quality…..it could transmit the human voice. But Gray thought the ability to send eight telegraphic messages over the same wire simultaneously was more important.

While he plugged away at that, his partners warned that others (including Edison) were said to be working on voice transmission. So just to tie up loose ends, Gray dropped by the patent office to drop off his letter of intent on the telephone. Unfortunately, a guy named Alexander Graham Bell had dropped by just two hours earlier. That coincidence of time would result in patent lawsuits over the next three decades. In an odd twist, the lawsuits became so expensive that Bell and his father-in-law offered Western Union the rights to the telephone for just $100,000. In a decision studied in today’s business schools, Western Union replied…..We’re in the telegraph business not the phone business….and that’s where they stayed….If they had only realized they were in the communications business!!!! They might have ruled the world.

On this day in 1899, neighbors watched a messenger deliver a note to an Austrian Engineer named David Schwartz. The note contained good news. The German Government was interested in producing Schwartz’s design of a lighter than air ship. (Actually he had borrowed the design of a Frenchman named Giffard some 47 years earlier and added the newly perfected combustion engine.)

Anyway, the neighbors saw the messenger leave and the door close. They heard Schwartz screaming the equivalent in Austrian of – – “I’m Rich!! I’m Rich!!” Then the screaming got louder and with it the sound of a man dancing about in a joyous frenzy. Then it got quiet. The next sound they heard was Frau Schwartz screaming “He’s Dead!! He’s Dead!! (Schwartz got so excited about his good fortune he threw a seven.)

A few month’s later a very kindly guy bought Schwartz’s patents and designs from the widow — for a rather nominal fee. What a prince! Or so you might think but he was not. He was just a Count – – Count Ferdinand Von Zepplin and there are rumors he did okay with the invention. It may be just as well. How could you watch a football game knowing some of the shots were coming from “the Goodyear Schwartz?” ]]> https://cestepatent.wordpress.com/2015/11/10/this-day-in-history-a-story-involving-an-assignment-of-patents/feed/ 0 1736 adammizera https://cestepatent.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/canadian-government-technical-summary-on-intellectualproperty-provisions-of-tpp-agreement/ https://cestepatent.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/canadian-government-technical-summary-on-intellectualproperty-provisions-of-tpp-agreement/#respond Mon, 05 Oct 2015 15:41:22 +0000 http://cestepatent.wordpress.com/?p=1734
