Answer: W: Are you busy on Friday night, Jack?
Problem: M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a patent, it's enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court. W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins? M: Well, there are different things the court could do, but there's no guarantee. There's a good chance the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed. W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves? M: That's the beauty of the whole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn't count, I'm afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor. W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal? Do all countries have the same law? M: No, they're not all equal. You're right. It's only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years. W: That doesn't make sense. Twenty years is a long time. M: Actually, it does. It's believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there's a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all part of the deal. W: Cool.

A: W: I don't understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent? A piece of paper? A philosophy? You can't see it.
Problem: Given the question: W: No, I never. But ... M: Wow! You coat's got very dirty! Did you fall? W: Yes, I had a terrible experience on the underground train. Listen to this! A man came up to me and pulled out a knife. He pointed it right at me! M: Oh, no! Are you all right? Did he hurt you? W: No, he didn't hurt me, but he took my handbag. M: Then what happened? What did you do? W: I caught hold of his knife, and he pushed me to the floor. M: Oh, no! Why did you catch hold of his knife? That's dangerous. W: I don't know. I didn't think. M: What did the other passengers do? Did they help you? W: Yes, they did. Two men ran after the robber and held him. M: Did the police come? W: Yeah. The conductor called a policeman, and he took the robber to the police station. M: Wow! What a story! Thank God you're all right. What was said before this conversation?
