"expensive to innovate and cheap to copy" sounds like eligibility criteria to me.
- jaekwon 14y agoAny big company can pour any large amount of money to "innovate", which will probably help them bring the product to market sooner, but that isn't justification for a temporary monopoly grant. "Cheap to copy" sounds like something to be embraced.
- rayiner 14y agoThe issue is that in economic terms, the amount of money required to innovate is absolutely relevant. There is no need for any incentive if the company can recoup that figure before competitors copy the invention.

- mtgx 14y agoI wish the Patent Office would approve patents only on that criteria. Is slide to unlock "expensive" to innovate? No? Then rejected.
