Kathryn Litherland
: I don't see any reason to go beyond the basic meaning of the source word here. Yes, one can infer that the nature of the paterns' impact on the product is to impinge or hinder it, but that's not explicit in the source. No need to overinterpret.

I agree and always avoid reading anything into the translation that might limit the interpretation, there are MANY ways in which patents affect each other: Thanks for your comment, Kathryn :))

: I like encumber best because I feel that impair might refer to some defect in the invention itself.

Thank you, agoreux, and that's an interesting observation that you made on the difference between "impair" and "encumber." - Mike :)

My take on it:
The, if any, would take care of whether the impact is negative or otherwise.

In a recent article, (“Does One Size Fit All?: The International Patent Regime,” Summer 2004) Graham Dutfield criticized international patent standard-setting efforts, contending that developing countries should be free to design individualized patent systems according to their respective levels of industrial and technological development. Underlying this argument is the author’s view that ** patents hinder development** and “imitation” is the most effective way to bridge the industry-technology gap between developing and developed countries.
http://hir.harvard.edu/articles/1278/
Because it had not explored all the process options, Du Pont worried that competitors or independent inventors could apply for nylon-related patents that **could hinder the product's development.**
http://invention.smithsonian.org/centerpieces/whole_cloth/u7...
Product development public private partnerships (PDP’s), among
others, have demonstrated how to leverage intellectual property rights, segmenting
the market in their licensing agreements in order to achieve the ultimate goals of
delivering biomedical innovations to poor and underserved populations where
there are very limited commercial markets. It is in cases like these that open source
licenses may** hinder the product’s commercialization** by precluding the engagement
of private capital.
There are other, non- IP, reasons why this is not done; access to materials, biosafety issues, liability and stewardship issues, and a weakness in scientific capacity can be more serious impediments than **foreign patents in hindering** progress in plant biotechnology in developing countries.
