How is it an example of a perverse incentive? If we don't reward inventors who make genuinely useful things, there's no incentive.

  I was replying to a comment which suggested the investor should be punished for not offering their invention for free. The poster wanted to punish inventors for inventing. If that isn't a perverse incentive I don't know what is.

        I said "maybe", as in who is the unfair party here? Nowhere did I say anyone should be punished.

  To certain people.
