I did, but I consider anyone to be an attorney who believes that all wealth rightfully belongs to lawyers, which is what "intellectual property" abuse is all about.
Where would the world be if some ancient law firm had been allowed to collect royalties on the Pythagorean Theorem in perpetuity?
I deliberately said "in perpetuity" because every time Mickey Mouse is about to enter the public domain the length of copyright is extended by Congress. It won't be long before patent duration is indefinitely extended as well, because lawyers are good at buying the laws they need to feed their greed.
Oh, I see. You would rather corporations could steal any idea they wish from an inventor. You would like to deprive inventors of capital. Wow, what a plan!

Nobody has ever granted patent in perpetuity and Disney is still making new movies with Mickey Mouse. You just want to steal.
