Yi: Who will act as an umbrella for Chinese entrepreneurs

Who is the hottest High-tech business incubator in America? Yes, it's Y combinator!. In recent years, the private incubator has produced countless star companies such as Dropbox, Heroku, Airbnb, Bump, Justin.tv, Reddit, Disqus, Posterous, and its founder Paul F.　　Graham is also recognized as the godfather of Silicon Valley entrepreneurship.　　Beijing time September 7, Paul Greheum launched a very subversive initiative for the scientific and technological community through the Internet: Do not file software patent lawsuits against startups with fewer than 25 people. Although this is a promise, it will largely change the way technology companies behave.　　More importantly, unlike government intervention, "patent commitments" can be implemented in a very short period of time. To actually push this initiative forward, Y Combinator has also created a Web site thepatentpledge.org to list the companies that have joined the campaign.　　There are already many startups, including Airbnb, Disqus and Hipmunk, who have hatched from Y Combinator. In response to the initiative, Paul Greheum says one of the biggest concerns among entrepreneurs is that the current Giants ' rivals may be using patent lawsuits to nip them in the bud.　　So he hopes the industry giants can now promise not to use software patent lawsuits against start-ups with fewer than 25 people.　　Paul Greheum also said that Google and Facebook had never initiated software patent infringement lawsuits against start-ups, and he urged other companies to join in the move. In the open proposal, Paul Greheum This emotional end: The industry giants who like to launch patent lawsuits against startups, you're essentially blocking innovation. Now, each of us should do something about it.　　We should ask the Giants, which column are you going to stand on? While there may be a purpose for protecting the companies that hatch, Paul Greheum's action is undoubtedly of great significance and will have disruptive effects on the tech biosphere.　　The next thing we need to look at is whether Y Combinator can use its enormous influence in the technology industry to advance the real implementation of this initiative. In the end of the article, I felt that the Paul Greheum of this initiative is possible in the domestic effect and imitation of it?　　To step back, let the domestic industry giants make a commitment not to use software patent lawsuits for less than 25 start-ups. If it's difficult, can we start with a relatively easy initiative: Ask industry giants not to copy startups and start a business. Easier, I have come out of the first step.
