[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 656976, member: 4386"] One thing as important as company ownership is patent ownership. Patent ownership means royalties for the patent holder. Australia ranks highly for inventions (many CSIRO, that got a pittance for Wifi): Wifi Rotary clothes hoist Saltwater pool chlorination Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) First anti-flu vaccine First anti-cancer vaccine Gene shears Aircraft black box Penicillin Spray-on skin Heart pacemaker Cochlear ear implant Ultrasound scanner Plastic spectacle lenses Google Maps platform Permanent crease clothing Aeroguard (for protecting livestock) Many of these were sold early for a small sum and not developed commercially by Australian companies. Sill we should be proud of our successful scientists and inventors in an age when so much science is being rejected in favour of conspiracy theories and back-to-the- past nostalgia (the last which I also suffer from) [/QUOTE]
