Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to the Patents in Technology Blog

My name is Brian Yang and I'm a freshmen at Stanford University. This blog is part of a class called Computers and the Open Society taught by professor Terry Winograd. The class talks about how computers, and primarily the Internet, have affected our open society. The Internet is such an integral part of the modern society that it's impossible to ignore the impact it has made in every industry and aspect of our world. From education to business to our personal lives, the Internet has truly been a revolutionary invention. Speaking of inventions, registering a patent is often an important step to creating a new invention. With all the new innovations in the technology, many patents have been issued on designs, processes, methods, and ideas. Nowadays, patents have been a hot topic in technology as many large companies are taking advantage of their patent ownership. Consequently, many controversial issues have arisen the way companies are handling patents. This blog will show examples and situations regarding patents in technology and provide a few of my opinions on such issues. Thanks for reading!
