@madhurgupta121@jagachchhishya@vivekagnihotri Since u think Innovation == number of patents filed , let me educate urself !
There are many flavours of innovation : 1) Business Innovation : Amazon, Facebook and most SM companies are business innovators.. They are not driven by their patents but by innovative business models !
@madhurgupta121@jagachchhishya@vivekagnihotri 2) Product innovation : within product innovation there are 2 flavours - Hardware and software . Hardware product driven companies like Samsung really need patents to protect their innovations which may be generational (breakthroughs, major improvements) or incremental in nature.
