Global Innovation Commons innovator and Executive Chairman of M-CAM, Dr. David Martin, describes how patents are a social contract that should benefit all parties - but that problems with the patent system have allowed excesses.

Recent convergence of global patent databases has allowed re-discovery of critically-important technologies for environmental, energy, health and water for many locations where patented technologies are either lapsed or never filed - essentially freeing 95% (approx.) of intellectual property for valuable applications now.
