That makes no sense, and unfairly gives preference to huge corporations. If I can invent some new machine that will cost many millions of dollars to build, should I not be able to patent it?
- ecshafer 3y agoNot until you build it, no. You didn't invent anything, you thought of something. But until it exists you didn't invent it, as you have no proof it works. Edison went through a 100 different light bulbs before he had one that works, should he have gotten the patent for "a glass ball that uses a heated filament to make light" before he figured out all of the hard parts?
