The largest industry in America is increasingly incapable of serving its customers. Over-fencing of the information commons has led to unaffordable medicine, for want of which millions of Americans and people around the world go without lifesaving treatments. Eliminating patent distribution exclusivity altogether, however, is not feasible, given the entrenched nature of the health-care industry. This paper proposes a program of voluntary Open Science Prizes that would draw large numbers of new players, who would in turn produce much new medical innovation, provide academic priority recognition, and develop a growing body of patent-beating prior art that would serve as public domain firewalls on a new supranational Hyper-Commons.
美国最大的产业越来越无法满足其客户需求。对信息共享领域过度设限导致药品价格高得让人难以承受，数百万美国人和世界各地的人们因此得不到救命治疗。然而，鉴于医疗保健行业根深蒂固的性质，完全消除专利分销排他性是不可行的。本文提出了一项自愿性开放科学奖计划，该计划将吸引大量新参与者，这些新参与者反过来会带来大量新的医学创新，提供学术优先权认可，并形成越来越多能超越专利的现有技术，这些现有技术将成为新的超国家超级共享领域的公共领域防火墙。
