Comment on Supreme Court Should Say No to Patents That Take Old Ideas Away from the Publicparent

Comments

The economic harm to society that comes from patents is more than enough to fund public research that could employ the same smart people to discover the same medicines.

Not saying you're wrong, but the implication that such public research would happen assumes facts not in evidence.

Eh, we're in fantasy-land already if we're talking elimination of patent law.
