or you dont believe its property in which case youll have to argue with the constitution since the Patent Office is established in it. The constitution only gives Congress the right to establish monopolies. It does not make those monopolies property.
Your argument in favor of government monopolies is that anyone who spends a lot of money should be guaranteed a return. What system of property rights is that?

Don't be an ass, that's not what a patent does. A patent refers TO property - the invention itself. Or are you one of those communists who believes the people who actually invent things should be required to release all hold on their property for the "public good"? You know that's called theft, right? Or is it that you just don't care?
