The citation is literally The US Constitution: "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
- theli0nheart 5y agoI asked for a citation of something that explicitly did not mention rewards to inventors / authors to accomplish this goal. What you cited backs my argument, specifically that owners of intellectual property have exclusive right to their discoveries and writings during the period of protection. Rewards were an intended outcome of patents from day one, as it was literally included in the U.S. Constitution.
