Posted on Apr 19, 2012 If you own more than one private company, is research shared between them?

Posted on Apr 19, 2012 Nope. Research is company property, not player property, and is at this point wholly nontransferable.

Posted on Apr 19, 2012 I wish it was the other way around. It would make more sense from a real-life standpoint. It's a private company and you're the sole owner, you should be able to basically do as you wish.

Posted on Apr 19, 2012 It's a quirk of national legal history that Econosia, though its financial markets are essentially unregulated, has a body of Intellectual Property law in place that borders on the paranoid. Trade secrets are so heavily regulated, and violations of patent law so aggressively punished, that even highly-vested corporate owners of multiple enterprises dare not decompartmentalize the subsidiary R&D ventures of their various properties. Even reporting on such activities is considered an unreasonable risk; you'll find nothing in the Robo Street Journal about this.Consider that, upon formal liquidation of a company, its research is not redistributed or taken into state holding but destroyed. Such is the state of law in this area. The possibility exists for reform to IP law down the road, though at this point there's no clear, plausible path toward that goal, barring some fortuitous change in the mood of of our Beloved Leader. |
