but if the manufacturer doesnt give a shit about intellectual property
>call intel
>ask where to buy
>buy
they can take the specs and just produce them
Hey guys like my new nickname?
without caring what the hardware designer thinks
Pretty epic
because lol no copyright
>call one of the hundreds of Intels
>hope it's the right one because none of them are the same company
lots of hardware manufacturers don't have any brand loyalty and sell the same shit rebranded with tons of different shit
^
especially keyboards and mice
they also are based in china
with very lax copyright protection
Anything for a quick buck
yup
what a coincidence
>Intel gets non-disclosure agreement with manufacturer
>contracts them to build CPUs
Oh man
i'm actually using a cheap knockoff mechanical keyboard i got off amazon
that was so hard
because they're basically the same
Free market at work
@Tinker Tom EXACTLY
contracts!
contracts
NIGGER WHAT IS YOUR POINT
contracts protect your IP
all of neweggs rosewell or whatevre brand is "knockoffs"
YEAH
CONTRACTS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF A FREE MARKET
YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS
thank you for understanding tom

now you know why a mutual contract between many companies that protects IP would be beneficial

because it would stop manufacturers (who would need to sign the agreement to do any business with these companies) from just mass producing a knockoff the moment they receive the specs
@Double Negative Yeah, but you don't fucking own the idea. You can make efforts to keep that idea a secret, but if AMD got ahold of Intel's shitty CPU designs from reverse engineering, and then for some reason used a part of it, Intel couldn't do anything
"the idea"
a fully fledged specification sheet for a CPU isnt an "idea"
Ok
