The patent system incentivizes potential applicants to file early, and this case is an example. If an applicant sells a product made with an inventive process, that product serves as prior art that can invalidate a patent on the process. Once a company starts using a new manufacturing process, that starts the clock running on deciding whether to file a patent application or rely on trade secrets.

"DEI programs are a waste of money!" Said unironically by dudes that backed Theranos and WeWork, that SPAC'd their way to failure, that wasted everyone's time and money for five years chasing crypto to nowhere.

DEI in the US, is solving the hardest and most consequential problem on earth: reducing the amount of racism in the US.

Without addressing US racism, we can't make progress on:
* Climate change
* Reproductive rights
* Wealth inequality
* Combatting global far-right white nationalism
