How new technologies protection and negotiation can hamper or promote
development and poverty eradication in undeveloped countries?
ESTEFANIA CALDERON
They can promote the development and eradication of
poverty since the creators of inventions having them
protected and enjoying their rights for a long period
can economically recover what they have invested in
the creation of them, promoting the promotion and
commercialization of new inventions that generate an
increase in the economy. Taking into account this, the
underdeveloped countries should take advantage of
this opportunity so that the protection and
commercialization lead to the economic and
technological growth of the country and benefit
positively. An example would be that a citizen creates
an innovative system for the irrigation of crops in the
field. This in turn makes an investment and protects it
so that your idea is not used by others. In this way, the
citizen of an underdeveloped country, who had the
initiative, created his product, patented it, could enjoy
the income that it leaves him and in such a way
contribute to the economic growth of him and his
country.

The participation of the private sector as a
response to the reality of hunger or poverty in
the world seems to begin to overcome the
omnipresent and inattentive discussion of
whether this issue is proper or not. It has been
argued, rightly so, that the private sector should
not, in principle, invade competences and
responsibilities that correspond to the States
when it comes to competences and
responsibilities linked to universal human rights,
such as education or health. Other voices, more
critical, come from the companies themselves
that think that they should not have any kind of
responsibility regarding issues totally unrelated
to their main rationale, which is the economic
benefit.
In the global era, the governance of issues
affecting the world's population is not confined
to the actions of a single actor (the States) but,
for better or for worse, it is addressed to other
actors who, with different responsibilities and
areas of influence, can contribute through their
actions to draw a different destination for a large
majority of the population that is currently in a
situation of extreme vulnerability We can
eradicate poverty with the following Items 1.
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger 2. Achieve
universal primary education 3. Promote gender
equality and women's autonomy 4. Reduce child
mortality 5. Improve maternal health 6. Combat
HIV / AIDS, malaria and other diseases 7.
Guarantee the sustainability of the environment
8. Create a global partnership for development

Scientific and technological knowledge has
produced applications that have been of
great benefit to humanity, with greater
importance in the context of a globalized
society, however these benefits are not
evenly distributed and this increases the
gap between industrialized and
underdeveloped countries, therefore, they
are responsible for the deterioration of the
environment and the source of imbalance
and social exclusion.
Science and technology are factors that
have a decisive influence on the
economic growth and development of
any nation, as a result of the
accelerated scientific and technological
progress of the current era,
characterized as the era of the
"knowledge society" where the
novelties technologies generate radical
innovations in a globalized world,
therefore the way forward is, without
doubt, the production, dissemination
and equitable use of knowledge and
scientific doing, with approaches to
poverty alleviation, economic growth
and sustainable human development.

Patent protection can be convenient to protect
the technology that has been developed and the
investments that will be made to develop it. And
To ensure that your research and development
field is not closed as a result of a group of
patents requested by a third party. This is why
when a considerable amount of time and money
has been invested in the development of
innovative products, under the protection of
these exclusive rights, companies could
commercialize the invention allowing them to
obtain a higher return on investments, and this
is totally linked to make important companies in
an underdeveloped country, contributing to
generate additional employment to sustained
and profitable growth for it.
Example: RAMBUS, Inc. is a developer of RAM
memory module technology in the
semiconductor industry. In 1992, Rambus
reported a new type of RAM known as RDRAM.
While the RDRAM is capable of handling
information faster than other types of RAM
chips, RDRAM production is much more
expensive than the others. As a result, Rambus
technology, more advanced but more expensive,
has not been able to gain acceptance in the
market. Rambus chose the strategy of seeking to
make its patents effective against its
competitors, in order to increase the costs of
competing products by extracting royalties for
licenses and forcing them to incur defense costs.
In fact, faced with the need to defend
themselves in a lawsuit, or as a consequence of
a judicial decision, RAMBUS competitors can
choose to obtain a license from it, which will
necessarily be reflected in a higher cost of their
product.
