Back to my original point: if the US software patent system is so broken, how come America is #1 in software innovation?
- danenania 16y agoIt's an interesting question. I suppose the first step is to see if there is another country that has better or nonexistent IP laws without mitigating social and political factors like China's. It may be difficult because the sheer amount of capital in the US, both physical and cultural, is probably enough to offset the effect of bad IP laws in comparison to most countries. You also need to find a way to measure software innovation per capita to control for population. It may be that the US is simply the best of a bad lot.
