\u00a0Patent Fact of the Week<\/h2>\n

In 2015, the Chinese government rolled out an \u201cinnovative\u201d scheme that allowed\u00a0inmates to get out of jail by buying patents. The prices for these patents varied from\u00a0$1,100 to $11,000. While some rich inmates did buy their way out of jail, the rest were not so lucky.<\/p>\n
