I am surprised that the rebuttal didn't attempt to refute any of the facts in the piece. I know the folks at TAL/NPR take their reporting and fact checking seriously, but I would expect IV to take some weaker part of the piece and try to discredit them. Instead they are creating a false dichotomy of "patents can be good for inventors, so we can't be doing anything wrong"
