- mrheosuper 2mo agoif it's inferior, why does it matter if it's 5 years or 25 years ?
- stonedivot 2mo agoWhy do you think it always only takes 5 years to develop some superior technology? 5 years seems like a short enough time frame that a company would rather just wait out the patent than invest heavily in R&D in the off chance they come up with a viable alternative (that now of course THEY can only protect for 5 years)
