I had a neighbor once who was an inventor and claimed he knew the guy who invented the in-road reflectors that are used to divide or mark lanes. Said the guy got one penny for each reflector sold.

Those with knowledge of the history of patents, (quite evidently "not you"), know that in medieval Europe where the concepts developed, that there was a distinction between "charters" which were perennial rights and "patents" which were rights of finite duration

LOL. You just made all that up. "Patent" is a medieval French word meaning open letter. They were most commonly used as royal declarations of titles of nobility. And no, they were most certainly not limited in duration.

And your attempt at invented history does not answer the question anyway. How can you call a patent a property right when it is limited in duration? Just saying it's because somebody else did it begs the question.

So you didn't make it up. Some ridiculous blog poster made it up and you just took it at face value.

And you still haven't answered the question. How can patents be property if they expire? Property rights do not expire.

ps: Mind your use of profanity on this forum.

And we have a new player. Do you have an actual argument or do you just drop in every now and then and say something juvenile?
