Rationale
for
the
Pontifical
Council
for
Justice
and
Peace
Endorsing
PatentBooks
Dear
Cardinal
Turkson
and
Father
Czerny,
This
is
a
follow
up
note
regarding
Cardinal
Turkson’s
comment
to
me
at
the
Catholic
University
of
America’s
October
2014
event,
“Liberty
and
Solidarity:
Living
the
Vocation
of
the
Business
Leader”
regarding
his
endorsement
of
the
PatentBook
business
model
on
behalf
of
the
Pontifical
Council
for
Justice
and
Peace.
Although
Cardinal
Turkson
did
not
specifically
state
to
me
the
reason
for
his
endorsement
comment,
perhaps
it
had
something
to
do
with
his
knowledge
of
Catholic
Social
Teaching
and
his
new
understanding
of
PatentBooks.
My
understanding
of
Catholic
Social
Teaching
suggests
that
PatentBooks
supports
its
four
pillars
as
follows:
1.
Dignity
of
the
Human
Person.
Human
persons
invent
things.
Human
persons
use
good
inventions
to
improve
their
lives.
Patents
are
the
societal
contract
that
grants
full
ownership
of
an
invention
to
the
inventor
for
20
years
in
exchange
for
the
inventor’s
complete
public
disclosure
of
how
to
reproduce
the
invention.
An
inventor
should
be
compensated
fairly
for
the
use
of
their
patents.
Patent
users
need
an
efficient
way
to
pay
for
the
use
of
others’
patents
to
facilitate
honest
commerce.
Payment
mechanisms
should
be
easy,
reasonably
priced,
and
uniform
for
all.
Pope
Emeritus
Benedict
XVI
addressed
the
need
for
a
more
efficient
mechanism
for
intellectual
property
commerce
in
his
encyclical
Caritas
in
Veritate,
specifically
in
the
Preamble,
sections
7
and
9,
and
again
in
Chapter
Two,
section
22.
Efficient
sharing
and
compensation
for
patents
can
alleviate
many
of
the
ills
described
in
Chapter
Two,
while
accelerating
global
human
development.
PatentBooks
allow
any
patent
owner
to
list
their
patent
for
free,
while
retaining
full
ownership
of
the
patent.
PatentBooks
allow
patent
users
to
pay
a
single
reasonable
price
to
use
all
the
patents
in
the
PatentBook,
buffet-‐style,
via
a
simple
online
transaction.
Patent
users
buy
the
freedom
to
use
any
patented
invention,
and
patent
owners
receive
compensation
based
on
the
relative
value
of
their
patents
versus
all
the
other
patents
in
that
PatentBook.
2.
Common
Good.
The
widespread
use
of
patents
enables
all
humans
to
improve
their
lives.
I
write
this
letter
on
a
battery-‐operated
laptop
computer
with
an
LCD
display
connected
to
the
Internet
via
a
satellite
from
my
ranch
in
the
mountains
of
Colorado.
I
will
send
it
to
you
via
email.
You
are
likely
to
read
my
letter
on
a
similar
device
in
a
reverse
sequence.
This
happens
because
many
people
have
had
the
courage
and
societal
trust
to
patent
their
inventions.
This
is
good
not
only
for
you
and
me,
but
for
both
the
developing
and
developed
world.

Unfortunately,
many
patent
users
have
not
paid
the
patent
owners
for
using
their
patents.
It
is
not
because
patent
users
are
dishonest.
It
is
because
the
products,
services,
and
systems
we
use
today
are
so
complicated
and
use
so
many
patents
that
it
is
virtually
impossible
to
pay
patent
owners
directly.
We
live
at
a
unique
point
in
human
history
where
the
Internet
enables
instant
global
communications,
machine
translation
software
allows
people
of
different
languages
to
understand
one
another
and
business
models
for
intellectual
property
transactions,
i.e.
iTunes®,
have
been
successful.
Our
unique
contributions
to
the
patent
license
marketplace
includes
the
patent
evaluation
criteria
called
TAEUSworks,
the
knowledge
of
what
patents
are
included
in
a
product
or
service,
and
our
reputation
for
excellence
with
the
Global
1000
corporations
and
world
governments.
Our
criteria
have
been
created
over
the
past
couple
of
decades
as
we
have
evaluated
most
of
the
world’s
largest
corporations
patent
portfolios.
We
have
decided
to
offer
these
patent
evaluation
criteria
to
the
world,
free
of
charge,
to
help
establish
a
more
efficient
global
patent
licensing
market
that
can
begin
to
resemble
the
efficiencies
of
the
global
real
estate
market.
Today,
patent
owners
seek
restitution
and
compensation
via
governmental
legal
systems.
This
is
highly
inefficient,
expensive,
and
risky;
enabling
only
very
wealthy
patent
owners
to
receive
compensation.
Others
have
learned
how
to
manipulate
current
legal
systems,
crushing
new
businesses
and
unreasonably
enriching
select
individuals
and
lawyers.
The
solution
that
best
supports
the
common
good
is
market-‐based
systems
localized
to
products,
patent
owners
and
patent
users
within
national
boundaries,
i.e.
PatentBooks.
St.
Paul
references
the
One
Body
of
Christ
and
all
the
different
skills
and
gifts
that
work
together
for
success
in
1
Corinthians
Chapter
12
and
Romans
Chapter
12.
Patent
owners
that
publish
to
PatentBooks
get
paid
efficiently,
allowing
them
to
invent
more.
Innovators
that
subscribe
to
PatentBooks
enjoy
the
right
to
use
any
patents
they
want
to,
with
complete
freedom
to
operate.
The
rest
of
the
world
enjoys
using
the
product,
services,
and
systems
these
groups
create.
PatentBooks
enable
superabundance.
3.
Subsidiarity.
PatentBooks
support
the
sharing
of
patented
inventions
at
the
lowest
possible
transaction
level,
specifically
the
individual
inventor
and
the
patent
user.
Any
inventor
anywhere
can
publish
his
patent
to
a
PatentBook
for
free,
easily
receiving
compensation
according
to
the
quality
of
his
patent
in
the
context
of
all
the
other
PatentBook
patents.
Patent
users
receive
the
opportunity
to
be
honest,
paying
for
all
the
patents
they
might
consider
using
in
their
product
or
service,
without
fear
of
litigation.
The
transaction
is
easy,
fairly
priced,
and
everyone
pays
the
same
price.
God
made
the
Earth
and
put
a
lot
of
good
things
here.
In
His
most
profound
act
of
creation,
God
made
humans,
and
granted
them
dominion
over
all
His
creation.
Everything
was
fine
until
The
Fall.
Since
then,
humans
have
had
to
invent
or
discover
the
good
things
God
placed
here,
a
little
bit
at
a
time.

When
a
human
discovers
or
invents
something
new,
he
and
others
may
benefit
from
the
discovery.
A
patent
is
a
public
disclosure
of
the
discovery
or
invention
so
that
society
as
a
whole
can
benefit
from
the
invention.
The
patent
is
a
societal
contract
between
an
inventor
and
the
rest
of
society.
The
contract
is
simply
this:
in
exchange
for
completely
disclosing
the
recipe
of
reproducing
the
invention,
society
grants
the
inventor
all
rights
to
that
invention
for
a
fixed
period
of
time,
currently
20
years.
Innovators
that
create
useful
new
products
and
services
combine
hundreds
and
thousands
of
inventions,
discoveries,
and
patents
disclosed
by
many
humans
from
all
over
the
world.
Given
the
complexity
of
the
useful
new
products
and
services
we
enjoy
today,
licenses
from
all
these
patent
owners
are
required.
Most
innovators
are
honest,
when
provided
the
chance
to
be
honest,
and
would
license
all
the
patents
if
the
transaction
was
simple,
reasonably
priced,
and
everyone
paid
the
same
amount.
Licensing
all
these
patents
via
individual
patent
owners
is
virtually
impossible,
because
there
are
so
many
of
them.
Patent
owners,
by
virtue
of
their
public
disclosure
of
their
patent,
enjoy
both
the
right
to
allow
others
to
use
their
patented
inventions,
or
to
exclude
them
from
the
patented
invention’s
use.
Patent
litigation
today
enforces
the
right
of
the
patent
owner
to
exclude
others
from
using
the
patented
invention.
This
one-‐sided
perspective
fosters
greed
and
conflict,
and
is
not
beneficial
to
society.
The
sole
focus
on
exclusion
is
contrary
to
the
societal
contract
that
is
the
foundation
of
patents,
i.e.
sharing
of
an
invention
with
society.
Good
ideas
will
always
be
copied
to
improve
economic
conditions.
A
brief
economic
history
of
the
world
is
as
follows.
The
United
States
was
formed
in
1776,
and
grew
by
copying
other
ideas
and
developing
some
of
its
own
up
to
World
War
I,
roughly
150
years.
In
1945,
after
World
War
II,
both
Japan
and
Germany
were
economically
devastated,
but
by
1995,
just
50
years
later,
both
were
economically
significant.
South
Korea
witnessed
Japan’s
success,
and
repeated
it
from
1970
to
2000,
and
reducing
the
time
from
50
to
just
30
years.
Taiwan
did
the
same
in
25
years,
and
the
China
became
economically
significant
in
15
years.
This
cycle
of
economic
development
will
continue
to
decrease
with
improvements
in
communications
and
transportation
technologies.
New
systems
must
be
created
to
enable
the
intellectual
property
owners
to
be
fairly
compensated
for
others
use
of
their
intellectual
property.
PatentBooks
is
such
a
system.
Human
society
determined
that
clean
water
and
electricity
are
important
to
life.
Ideas
are
just
as
important
to
life,
perhaps
even
more
so.
In
developed
areas
of
the
world,
humans
have
banded
together
to
create
electric
and
water
utility
companies,
which
deliver
electricity
and
water
efficiently
to
customers
who
all
basically
pay
the
same
rate
for
only
the
amount
of
electricity
and
water
they
consume.
PatentBooks
brings
“utility
company”
efficiency
to
patent
licensing.
PatentBooks
simply
eliminate
the
friction
and
high
cost
of
patent
licensing
and
litigation.
PatentBooks
is
a
Good
Business
that
provides
a
platform
for
efficient
legal
access
to
all
the
world’s
patented
technologies
while
highlighting
and
compensating
the
world’s
inventors
fairly
for
a
minimum
cost.

Solidarity.
Human
persons
working
together
with
charity
in
truth
in
an
open
marketplace
improve
the
lives
of
all
human
persons.
Human
persons
developed
methods
of
delivering
clean
water
and
electricity
so
that
individuals
and
businesses
no
longer
must
provide
their
own.
Businesses
and
homes
in
the
developed
world
just
“connect
to
the
grid.”
The
most
important
factor
in
human
development
is
the
sharing
of
ideas.
Patents
are
society’s
best
method
for
documenting
and
sharing
inventions,
yet
compensation
mechanisms
for
using
patents
have
not
kept
pace
with
the
rapid
massive
inclusion
of
tens
of
thousands
of
inventions
into
useful
products
and
services.
Patent
ownership
includes
both
the
right
to
exclude
and
the
right
to
include,
just
as
a
glass
of
water
may
simultaneously
both
half-‐empty
and
half-‐full.
Patent
licensing
today
focuses
solely
on
the
patent
owner’s
right
to
exclude.
This
one-‐sided
bias
stifles
human
creativity
and
has
massively
slowed
the
rate
of
human
development,
especially
in
the
last
20
years.
Because
of
the
complexity
of
today’s
products,
services,
and
systems,
and
the
massive
volume
of
human
creative
activity
documented
in
patents,
current
patent
licensing
systems
are
unworkable.
The
best
evidence
of
this
unworkability
is
patent
litigation.
Patent
litigation
and
its
injunctive
power
is
the
ultimate
step
in
a
patent
licensing
system
focused
on
exclusion.
Patent
trolls
appear,
as
the
financial
incentive
to
extort
compensation
by
paying
a
high
fee
to
avoid
the
even
higher
costs
and
distraction
of
patent
litigation
loom
large.
Since
a
patent
is
a
public
disclosure
of
an
invention,
the
natural
predisposition
should
be
to
focus
on
the
patent
owner’s
right
to
include
others,
provided
there
is
a
reasonable
easy
mechanism
for
both
the
patent
user
to
pay
for
patent
usage
and
the
patent
owner
to
be
compensated
for
the
use
of
his
patents.
A
patent
licensing
system
focused
on
a
patent
owner’s
right
to
include
others,
as
long
as
those
patent
users
pay
for
patent
usage,
benefits
everyone.
Fear
of
patent
litigation
disappears,
allowing
creativity
to
flourish,
resulting
in
fair
trade
between
inventors
and
innovators,
and
massive
grown
in
employment
and
economic
activity
for
all
human
persons.
PatentBooks
provide
the
licensing
platform
for
innovators
to
pay
for
other’s
patents
in
an
easy,
fair,
uniform
way,
and
provide
compensation
for
all
patent
owners,
at
the
lowest
possible
transaction
cost.
PatentBooks
allow
all
human
persons
to
align
their
unique
personal
interests
with
that
of
all
other
human
persons
in
an
industry,
eliminating
patent
litigation
by
reducing
the
cost,
complexity,
and
extortion-‐based
incentives
of
current
patent
licensing.
We
sincerely
appreciate
the
Cardinal’s
support
and
prayers
for
PatentBooks.
If
there
is
any
other
information
we
can
provide,
please
let
us
know.
