I agree we need some reforms, but not elimination. Copyrights and patents are important part of our economy. Only those who do not understand how they work call for their elimination. . . mostly socialists, other leftists, and anti-property types.
That just about covers it!
“socialists, other leftists, and anti-property types.”
this who wish to SHARE...that which is Not Theirs..to share...in some sense or another.
I saw some graffiti recently that simply said “property is theft”
it doesn’t get much further LEFT than that.
What is the point of creativity, ingenuity, innovation, and productivity if there is no reward for such (other than intrinsic value)?
The patent is granted, used multiple times later as the basis for both lawsuit decisions, and for other purposes - all without question.
Now, suddenly, the patent may be “invalid” because of the patented design is “obvious”? Really?
I just don’t understand.
