It also drives innovation.
- fhd2 13y agoQuite the contrary in my experience, capitalism typically restrains innovation. Patent trolls are just one of many examples. Not saying I've got a better idea than capitalism, but I wouldn't consider it ideal.
- simonh 13y agoIt's the worst system we know of, except for all the others.
- TelmoMenezes 13y agoPatents are only possible through government regulation. Without the government's interference, there would be no such concept. Pure capitalism has no patents.
- 15charusername 13y agoEven with Patent trolls and week patents, patents still allow companies to license innovative technology rather than hide it away for fear of copying (ala qualcomm) Patents are a good idea, it's the current implementation that sucks
- antihero 13y agoIt may be a factor on slow improvement, but true innovation comes from the passionate minds of geniuses.
