The Patent for music is longer, for what its worth. Under a prescription drug package though, or socialized medicine, the prices for innovative drugs would be severely capped. The incentive to create them would disappear. People would literally be given near instantaneous access to the process to generate a newly created drug in order to "keep the systems costs down". Where's the incentive to do it then?

FYI: (no criticism) the differences are important.

Patent = product intelectual property, strongest intelectual property.


Copyright = creative work protection, weakest intelectual property protection.
