[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eliminating the patent office and patents would be a great to deregulate and spur the economy. [/quote]

Question:  do you also think Trademarks are useless and everyone should just be able to sell knockoffs with absolutely no brand protections?

Good lord some people are powerfully dumb.[/quote]

Yes. Patents and trade marks are inherently anti-free market. Patents and trademarks restrict access to information and ideas. This slow and/or stifles innovation. These monopolies limit access to products, services and increase cost. Wealthy, large corporations or wealthy people use legal resources to intimidate smaller companies or people without resources and force them out of business. Let’s not forget texas instruments patent infringement. How much did that cost consumers?

Look at all the money spent on litigation, especially when "patent trolls" sue innovators for infringing on patents they have no intention of developing. Intellectual property rights is used to privatize information. Then we have the claiming of something that is in the public domain that shouldn't be owned. Remember the Yosemite National Park and Delaware North?

Yes good lord people are so powerfully dumb because they don’t want to pay you to increase cost of everything. [/quote]

Cool, let's just destroy our entire economy because of a single patent troll case.  Totally reasonable reaction.[/quote]
