That would make your patent unenforceable in Germany.

"They do not have the right to steal it in any fashion that they see fit"

Actually they do. As you no doubt know, the US intelligence services are mandated to 'acquire' any significant technology that the US lacks from countries that have it and make it available to US companies.

Goose-gander stuff.

"a stunning Chinese-backed effort that pilfered … patented American technology."

Why, pray tell, if its patented did they have to steal it?

Surely they just had to download and read the patent from the chinese patent office, in Chinese no less?

It happened where I did some work - the wiley employees said 'fine, but then you also cannot retrench us in the same period.'

The policy was quietly dropped.

Objective-C called closures blocks because that is what they are called in Smalltalk.

Actually, the question to ask is - why did the immigrants risk their lives in dangerous boats whilst passing the sanctuary of Indonesia?

But we know why. Which is why mass immigration turned out to be so easy for the Australians to solve.

Actually, immigration has a simple solution.

As the Australians have shown: if you have the testicular fortitude to house illegal immigrants on desolate islands where they are safe from the oppression and starvation they claim to be fleeing, then very, very soon the flow dindles to a trickle.

Since most of the country-shoppers aren't real refugees - they just wanted to live in Sydney with an Australian passport and a hard currency.

The same applies in Europe.
