“Delete All IP Law”? Why Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk Just Lit a Match Under the Patent System
Jack Dorsey didn’t mince words. In a four-word tweet—“delete all IP law”—he torched conventional thinking about innovation and intellectual property. Elon Musk chimed in with a simple “I agree.” And just like that, two of tech’s most prominent disruptors opened a Pandora’s box: Is it time to burn down the IP system?
USPTO Patent Fee Increases Demand a New Approach to Maximizing Your Patent ROI
While the USPTO fee adjustments aim to maintain operational efficiency and innovation support, they also introduce new financial pressures on applicants. Companies and inventors should reassess their intellectual property strategies to ensure highest patentability possible before filing. By adopting a more strategic approach to patent prosecution and trademark filings, and leveraging analytics and ideation solutions, it enables organizations to navigate the complexities of patenting with confidence and optimize patent portfolio management while managing expenses effectively. By integrating these insights into IP strategies, businesses can secure valuable patents, maximize ROI, and drive sustained innovation in an increasingly competitive technology landscape.
How DeepSeek Could Revolutionize Patent Discovery — But at What Cost?
Among the emerging AI-driven platforms, DeepSeek is gaining attention for its ability to streamline complex search processes and improve competitive intelligence.

For organizations relying on legally defensible insights and airtight competitive intelligence, DeepSeek’s gaps could undermine decision-making and expose businesses to unnecessary legal and financial vulnerabilities. Before making the leap, it’s worth asking — is the convenience of an open-source AI worth the cost of incomplete, unreliable data and potential security risks?
