So what was this guy complaining about, then?
And it is not like patents prevent academics from doing research, either, as there are academic exceptions. In fact, the patent filing process forces the inventors to disclose how their invention works in detail, which makes it easier for academics to build on those ideas if they want to. It's only commercial applications that are really bound by IP licensing agreements, to my knowledge.

And I'll leave this conversation here because neither of us is bothering to follow HN commenting guidelines at this point. Good luck with your research and I hope that if you apply for a patent it will be granted sells well.
