(Continuation from yesterday)

The difference between products and service systems is even greater than the difference between my two daughters.

(Incidentally, the wife was surprised to hear my opinion, and said "Is not the system smaller than the difference?")

People who say "horizontal expansion" comfortably for the system,

"do not know what is "system""

I think so.

(But I do not say anymore, because I am a hired engineer).

-----

By the way, in interpretation of patent law, "technology" is

(1) Means for achieving a specific purpose

and

(2) Things that can be communicated to a third party

in addition,

(3) not "skill" that depends on the characteristics (ability, sense or can) of the individual

It is clearly stipulated.

(In the lecture of the patent law, at the very first lesson, "what "technology" is")

"Horizontal expansion" is not "technology".

In addition, is not even "skill".

-----

"Horizontal expansion" is

(1) not be able to be inherited as things like "design drawing" of goods or service model,

(2) to remain only as a "thought" for a person who "designed" it,

(3) something that is implicitly intellectual, personally exclusive and can not be inherited

-----

""Horizontal expansion" will not succeed if we make a specific person a vehicle"

I am afraid that there are too many people who do not understand this.

(But I do not say anymore, because I am a hired engineer).
