I think different patent lengths for different industries would do much to improve the current insanity.

- bratbag 3y agoI think full audited accounting of research costs should be included in the patent filing and that the patent should end either after 20 years or until profits from the invention (including payments from other companies licencing the invention) match 10x the costs. And the maximum payout on violating a patent should be the remaining profit to end the patent. Differences between industries then look after themselves.
