  • You make the patents too easy to get and it fucks the little guy over as the big corps hoover up all the ideas. You make them difficult or impossible to get then that also benefits the big guys over the little guys as they will just steal people’s ideas and produce them for cheaper with their existing infrastructure which creates an even bigger monopoly.

    There is a sweet spot that society is trying to reach. It’s imperfect like any system but it’s far far better than having no system.

    You’ve not even considered that in order to get a patent granted you have to disclose your invention to the public which stops big corporations hoarding too many trade secrets.

    All in all, the idea that patents shouldn’t exist benefits nobody except the large corporations. Say goodbye to start ups growing in size if that is the case.

    We have gravitational evidence. We can only ever infer the existence of anything. An example of this is we didn’t actually see the Higgs Boson we just deduced it’s existence from the cascade of interactions that happens when particles collide. Similarly we can deduce from the gravitational evidence that dark matter exists.

    It’s all fine calling patents bullshit until you start getting large corporations stealing technology from small and medium enterprises.

    The way to ensure that large corporations and no small businesses can thrive have an even bigger monopoly is to get rid of the patent system.

    Tired of this shit on Lemmy. Do your homework.
