I can't speak for every industry but in the software industry, they are 100% counterproductive and harm innovation. It's good that many countries do not recognize software patents.
- hota_mazi 5y agoI see little evidence of that latest claim. China doesn't recognize software patents and it's rife with cheap copies and clones of existing products and produces very little innovation. The US recognizes patents and is the most innovative country on many fronts (not just software).
- cryptica 5y agoAustralia and Europe do not recognize them either. Australia is pretty innovative in the software industry considering its small population (which is less than 1/10th of the US).
- anthk 5y agoEurope doesn't have software patents neither and you have lots of complex teleco hardware.
