Maybe Microsoft is having a better time of protecting its patents, but the economic and property rights of the average citizen can’t be improving.
They must be talking about software, because the average person has very few property rights.
"The foundation of property rights governance is comprised of three elements:
1) the capacity to incorporate diverse economic and political interests in dialogue and design of programs to resolve priority property rights issues,
2) the availability of suitable information about the capabilities and uses of land as well as the boundaries of properties, and
3) the legal framework, the rules which the society devises to handle the competing property rights imperatives, including formal expression of these rules in laws and regulations, as well as the customs which people devise about the exercise of property rights and the responsibilities of the holders of these rights."
