so basically a seizure without any compensation required? I do think the government having issued such an order should be bound in determining an appropriate amount of money to be issued as compensation, tax free.
ideas are property, they have value, and if a government is going to take your ideas then they by default admit value so there is a taking.
- mdjeu 10y agoI had a similar reaction--the arguments about whether or not the patent have value seem silly, because if they didn't the government wouldn't issue the secrecy order to begin with, to say the least of defending the secrecy order. If they have no value, the secrecy order should be rescinded. The freedom of speech issue seems to supercede other concerns in my mind, and I also have problems with the idea of IP in general (and in that respect disagree with you). However, ignoring all of that, there are other fundamental flaws with the government's arguments.

I agree with you but I think there's a problem that a lawyer may exploit: the goveranment is making them secret not because their monetary value but because they think they could harm national security in some way.
