5000 BC - Harappa, Indus Valley Civilization
"We are here to understand the will of the people. The Learned Elders Group has
proposed a law to protect inventions.
The proposed law reads as follows:
Ideas of persons resulting in products useful to the society will be protected in the
Indus valley civilization.
No person will be allowed to use a protected idea without the permission of its
owner.
Now, I open the Forum for discussion. We will put the proposed law to vote at the
end of the discussion.
Let The Will of People Prevail."
