I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised: Blakley believes that the lack of patent protection has benefited the fashion industry, both creatively and financially. The talk is full of data that shows this. Curious what you’ll think after you watch.

I believe patents on fashion industry would just stop improvement and make some corporations richer. We will end up with patent trolls and will left with the choice either dress outdated or pay the licensing fee. Can you imagine somebody holding the patent to some sort of T-shirt and it is only available for $500?

Sharing ideas and extending one idea with another fuels innovation: If somebody locks down an idea, maybe not just because they thought it first but they were able to run first to the patent office to pay the fee, we will be left with the outdated alternatives.

I think this TED talk should be removed, because it does not share any idea to make this world a better place. In opposite, it advocates the interest of high end fashion industry.

I just feel lucky that there was no patent office when the tire was invented, today most of us would drive on affordable square tires!

A wonderful dissection of how patents and licenses are not only not necessary for innovation but can actually impede it – all while using the fashion industry as a case study. [...]
