Why do you need patents for secret technology anyway? Like if they were working on UFO-like crafts, why wouldn't you just keep it completely secret. It's not like China is going to care about US patents, so whom is it for, US companies? Or is this just a show for the media to a. normalize UFO's for some reason (make pilots more likely to report strange things they encounter)? b. some kind of psy-op to either distract the public or adversaries
- bdowling 6y ago> Why do you need patents for secret technology anyway? A government contractor who invents something would like to prevent other government contractors from infringing on their invention. Also, if an inventor keeps an invention secret and private then another inventor may be able to independently invent the same thing, patent it, and then prevent the first inventor from using the invention.
