Too Many Patents as Bad as Too Few

Posted by Hemos on from the getting-the-word-out dept.

NonSoftAntiCurve writes "Forbes.com has an interesting article about how too many patents are as bad as too few when it comes to incentives for innovation. 'The tension between the patent as a way to stimulate invention and the patent as a weapon against legitimate competition is inherent in the system.' There is a scary example of how this plays out in practice."

    Mod me down, but they embrace alot of evil Zionism, and disgust for non Jews.

    Make money, so my children are worth living on this planet and yours aren't.

    How can you not have some racist feelings against a race who defines the lines of racism theirself. They feel their race deserves the planet even at the cost of being total perverts with the "law".
