No, you can go specific and say that 100% of software patents are crap but that is not true for every industry. Plus, until someone doesn't own a patent,he is an anti patent and the day he finds something worth patentable, he go to a court to protect it and yeah to defend it too when someone else infringes it. Then, he never thinks that let him use. There is difference in approach you know. Until you don't own one, you are always like this.
A patent, in essence, provides an inventor incentive for disclosing his invention. Nobody, otherwise, in this money centric world would be spending billions in R&D to invent something if there is no incentive in that.
Saying that 100% patents are crap isn't a good thing, I believe. You can once give it another stance; by not looking at it through software lens alone.
Try once.
- Grishnakh 11y agoNo individual can own a patent and successfully defend it in court. The barrier to entry is too high. Patents only benefit corporations which use them to prevent competition from smaller companies which can't afford the legal costs of patent battles. If you're in favor of patents, then you oppose small business, and you want to live in a world ruled by oligopolies.
