I read the article but what you cite doesn’t support your point. Xerox didn’t sue apple because apple “took out copyrights.” Xerox sued apple to assert its own copyrights.
Got a tip for us?

So why didn't Xerox sue in 1983 when the Lisa came out? Or 1984 when the Mac came out? Why wait until 1989?
Particularly when Jobs' visit to PARC was in 1979...
Because they finally got around to it? According to the actual complaint filed by xerox, it wasn’t until 1989 that they realized their attempts to license Star to other parties had failed and the Star 8010 was being manufactured and failing in the marketplace, allegedly because of competition with Apple. There is little point suing before you have actually been damaged, so they sued when it became apparent they had lost in the marketplace. Note that xerox also sued to strike apple’s copyright registrations (and failed) but did so years after apple registered the copyright. So by your “why’d they wait” argument, if they sued because “Apple took out copyrights” why did they wait so many years after Apple registered the copyrights? (By the way, “registering” is not “taking out” copyrights - as I mentioned, there is no such thing as “taking out” copyrights. Registration is a formality that is necessary if you plan to sue for monetary damages, and simply involves putting a copy of the (already) copyrighted work in the possession of the necessary government agency.)
Those that think just others steal patents or trade secrets

1) you can’t steal a patent. That’s meaningless.
2) why is it so wrong that apple doesnt want to be sued in a place where it has no presence. If you get in a car accident do you want to be sued in Texas even though you’ve never been there?
That means that both Google (US Government) and Huawei (Chinese Government) have full access to everything being done on those devices.
Well it's android, so of course Google does. Google only does it for monetization. Huawei does it, without your consent, to give you data to the communists.
The main problem is tradewar between American and Chinese. A race in technologies showing who's the best. Think back to the basic, tradewar is a double edge sword, it can only cause economical problem. Not even the Chinese or American can benefit from this tradewar. The longer the tradewar, the greater the country loss. More people will suffered economically. So i don't see the good in tradewar. Or maybe anyone knows?
Doing what needs to be done always comes at a cost. Nobody thinks the U.S. involving in WWII was a bad idea.
what about the iraq and afghan war, or vietnam for that matter
Hello member since today. No trade war doesn't ONLY cause economical problem. Trade war also forces china to give up its unfair trade practices and pressure them to respect the promises they made when it was allowed to enter WTO.

to some they weren't so necessary. and your point is ?
Name me a country or state in the Middle East that does not give your data to the government..
In the US Google and Microsoft also give your data to the government.
The U.S. doesn't arrest you for shi tting on Trump. In china speaking against the party can cause you to lose everything and go to jail.
I agree with Bin Cook. We should only talk about crimes committed by white people.
That is true because China is run by communists. As I said, some things are bad which I don’t agree with
and some things are good which I do agree with [doublepost=1559109678][/doublepost]
Actually you can steal a patent as the patent you apply for is only valid in the country you applied for
. If you filed for a patent in the US only and prior to your pending patent being approved I had one filed and approved in Africa or some other country mine would be valid in that country. A patent filed for in the US is not valid in China and vice Vera’s unless both were approved and applied for in both countries.

I mentioned ww2 to illustrate that there exists issues (e.g. fighting nazis, ccp) that has to be dealt with regardless the cost.
Now I don't quite understand why you brought up the two wars.
Of course they do. But on a much more sophisticated level, compared to China's tactics. Why does the US spy on its allies as the Snowden files undeniably have demonstrated? It is for gaining leverage at political levels and on negotiations which often end up with cheap tech transfers/licensing or outright acquisitions of strategic foreign tech with foreign government not getting in the way due to said political leverage. Or if they are not getting what they want from the government, orchestrate a coup to take down that uncooperative (often democratically elected) government and install a puppet dictator. See Iran circa 60 years ago. Iran is just but one example of many similar instances. (But many clueless Americans have absolutely no idea as to the real reason why Iranians hate the USA.)
