"He is the CEO of the Dart Container Corporation, the inventors of the styrofoam cup. They never patented the machine and process because they didn't want competitors to be able to copy their design. To this day only a few highly trusted employees of the Dart Container Company are allowed to see the machinery itself."
Now there is a guy who doesn't trust many... lol Not even going to patent the machinery : ) Doesn't want China opening up a few of those machines in their knock-off district.
Great Book "The Coming China Wars"by Peter Navarro... has a chapter or two talking about this. China will have 1 building making product "X" ... and 5 min's away the "knock-off" district ... they are producing the same product "X" but for much cheaper..parts..etc and they get shipped out being sold at the premium price.
I'm sure they do the same with certain drugs as well...
"Fake and substandard drugs have become an increasing concern as U.S. pharmaceutical companies move more manufacturing overseas. The risk made headlines in 2008 when U.S. patients died from a contaminated blood thinner imported from China."
I'm sure Big Pharma may not like a new tracking system.... as it could also give others "a peak" into the quantity of their many drugs are being sold... but for safety concerns: would make sure they came from their manufacturing facility.
