Technology and Intellectual Property-Netflix Series Review

Here is a review of a series that aired on Netflix a few years ago about the Patent Infringement Case between Google and Terra Vision. There is quite a lot of information on the Internet that is written about this show regarding the content and accuracy of the story. Netflix went to great lengths to change some names and also was rather restricted by fear of Litigation from Google. At the heart of this story there are a few items that stand out. The importance of lawyers, the difficulty that arises in protecting software (code), the need to manage how small companies deal with larger corporations, the difference between invention and innovation, the link between art and technology, the value of waiting (for time and technology to catch up with your ideas) and the link between creators and Capital.
