It's really disappointing that big tech companies can get away with stealing others' ideas. It's a gap in our governance system, whereby patents don't protect this type of intellectual innovation. Even if it did, the smaller companies have no practical way to go after big companies. They can't afford prolonged legal battles, and the "defensive" patent portfolios these big companies amass really allow them to bully small companies into submission, often using frivolous patents. The intellectual property system has been flipped upside-down with the opposite of the incentives we wanted out of it, and it more closely just resembles regulatory capture. Mind you, I'm not saying Clubhouse has invented some new core technology. It's more like the value they have identified, via a smart product or business, is now something someone with greater capital and resources can simply exploit. The rewards aren't going to the innovator who identified that value.
