I mean all of patent law originates from the Statue of Monopolies [1] which was literally designed to screw over small companies.
I do find it amusing how much people call startup small and fast and yet some large company can swoop in and execute on their idea and knock them out of business if it weren't for a patent?

- insanitybit 3y agoI don't really think either of your statements are that interesting. The first is an extreme oversimplification about England's patent system origins from literally hundreds of years ago, the second is just some sort of straw man that I don't see as being relevant.
