10:24 am
agreement in a bipartisan way. the way laws are written right now is out of date. nothing keeps up with it. nothing shows this is much as how publishers work with laces like pandora. these guys are under an agreement from 1941. long before pandora was even close to existence. they don't feel like they can fairly negotiate the rate. lawmakers are looking at this. so is the justice department. is anything going to come of this or we just have more conversation? >> what are they asking for? >> they want to be able to come and have a fair negotiation with pandora. thesea says because of laws, that helps them. it helps them line up their negotiations. if pandora and these third-party

10:31 am
enters a male/female relationship. there is a higher chance for divorce and infidelity. society is not ready for this. pugh did a survey last year. most people believe it is the man's responsibility to be equipped and ready. they don't have the same expectations for women. this raises a lot of complexity when you're in a marriage. men feel emasculated. women can become resentful. there is a lot of emotional turmoil. >> can super ambitious women who also want to have families really make it to the top? ceos have a part, spouse that doesn't work. if they have a working husband, is it possible? >> they have a great babysitter. they have a housekeeper. top position as a ceo and be the mom?

10:34 am
super -- alpha females. >> there has to be balance. forhat is a recipe does it -- for disaster whether they are working or not. there is only so much time in the day. you have to make compromises. who is going to be that person that is ok with taking a step back from career? alternately somebody has to. if people have kids and housekeepers and nannies and all the plates are spinning, when one of those plates falls and somebody has to address it, who is it going to be? thet is always the ceo of household which is always the mom. >> a lot of people want to be somebody else. the best news for all of the

10:36 am
the wife was the caveman. if the wife becomes the caveman then she is always apologizing for the husband. it is a terrible thing. it is harder for the guys than it is for the woman. it is tougher on the guys. >> why? 10,000 trying to reverse years of acculturation. >> it is difficult. this is just one of those areas. it doesn't change so quickly. be aich is tougher, to woman and a man's world or a man and woman's world? >> that is a really good question. tougher to be a woman. life is more challenging for women. >> just a little detail of

10:38 am
and you want to get out of life everything you want, you've got to make those compromises much more so than the men have to do it. and that is the truth. >> was the biggest take away since you wrote the book? women identify themselves as feminists don't want to hear that there is a book like this in 2014. they get angry and i can understand that. i can say please read the book first. the most successful families where she makes more are the ones who can do away with gender role stereotypes where they are in it as a team. they recognize that they have insecurities and ego and all of that plays a role. you have to be able to communicate. >> our families in urban centers? even suburban families? >> all over the country. >> thank you so much. what, this is you

>> you're watching market makers on bloomberg television. i'm erik schatzker with stephanie ruhle. patents have long been a debate. this is a miserable with complications and all kinds of expert your -- all kinds of obscure fine print. jaywalker is the executive chairman of patent properties. with us now is marshall phelps, the head of the intellectual property at microsoft and ibm and now the ceo of an online patent research company. welcome. patent trolls -- >> what do they look like? >> small, hairy creature is. damaging is the patent troll industry to the american economy? >> certainly bad reputation only for intellectual property. i can say that. i do believe that there are some
11:15 am
really bad actors in the troll industry. they are small law firms that blanket the world with 15,000 lawsuits and a time. a time. more analysis is going to that, by the way. that reputation hurts. >> how do you fix it? >> there are a number of things going on. the supreme court has made it a point to encourage see shifting. the loser pays in a piece of litigation. >> i love that. were an individual inventor went been taken advantage of, you might love it when somebody is egregiously suing people. if you got stolen from, you would not like the fact that a big company could bankrupt you by taking you to court. >> may be the positive is this
11:16 am
incentivizing bad behavior. >> and we change the laws in this country, we end up with counter side effects we don't like. washington, it's not my place to solve business problems. at the end of the day, i would be very cautious. it is easy when you're going after a few bad guys to catch a lot of good guys and that net. then you really do damage to the economy. >> how about the fact that laws were written decades ago before things like patent trolls existed? >> they have been around for 200 years. these laws that have been around for 200 years, some are called the bill of rights. equate oldd to not laws with that loss. we need to be thoughtful. >> the supreme court has said that this is used fully in exceptional cases.
11:17 am
the question is how that broadens. >> we need to deal with the abusers. there is a handful. we also have a way bigger issue here. intellectual property is not on the ballot sheets of any of these companies. what happens here? network at the biggest -- >> hold on a second. what about goodwill and other intangibles? lumpedhis long area -- google willof times argue with your accounts. the goodwill line is generally relegated to transactions that have occurred. it is not related to how many trade secrets do you have or how many patents you have. your copyright portfolio or trademarks. none of that it appears. causes two problems. it is pretty opaque for an investor. you figure out what that means. not on the ballot
11:18 am
sheet, generally under managed -- it is generally under managed corporations. you can't count it, so does not exist. >> they are invisible assets. >> yes. they are quite large. ibm used to have tens of thousands of patents for which it generated no licensing revenue. marshall said, it's not on our ballot sheet and he turned it into a multibillion-dollar revenue stream per year at ibm. it wasn't even on the ballot sheet. >> that is a super relevant point. if you can generate revenue from intellectual property, every single investor would agree that it does have value. take a patent that is not generating revenue and put 10 people in a room and asked them to come up with a value for it and none of them will be able to agree. >> that's right. you need a context for it and you need to know if it's relevant. a drug patent is not relevant to ibm. it might be the most relevant thing pfizer owns. make sense for
11:19 am
these companies do have patents as place card holders? >> you don't want to have a party with those place card holders. if you want more invention in america, you need more research and development. if you want more research and development, you have to reward it and recognize those are investments and assets. just like your brand name is an asset or your copyright. >> we are coming off the financial crisis. we are coming to a time where shareholders are demanding every week, every month, every quarter results, responses from ceos. isn't it hard to have this beautiful lofty idea and it meant them -- and implement them? >> we are actually in better shape than we think we are. a little sunlight in the dark corner would make a lot

board with that? they are accustomed to prescribing one pill or another. how are they feeling about this approach? >> there is no question we need to move in that direction. we're not there yet. there is a recognition that we really need to concentrate on wellness and keeping people functioning, not just symptoms. that is the way the industry is moving. people who don't adapt are going to be the losers. those who embrace it, taking advantage of things like sensors, smart phones, social media, ways to modify behavior with feedback loops, that is what is going to work. >> how do we incentivize this type of behavior? as stephanie points out, there is a medical industrial complex that is somewhat opposed to these kinds of changes. at the same time, we can observe progress taking place in other countries where such barriers to
