The duplicating of competitors, patent protected product designs is thievery, witness the numerous violations of our patent laws by countries such as China.

Patents are a contract between an inventor and society. The inventor discloses a new process in exchange for a limited monopoly. If we did not do this many processes would never be developed in the first place or would kept secret forever.

Wow.
That is one of the dumbest things I have read on this site in a long time.

“Patents are government-enforced theft. They should not exist.”
I wonder if you’d be saying that if you were a patent holder?
Patents are a way to reward innovative and creative work.
Without them many companies simply wouldn’t take the financial risks of doing the basic R&D necessary to innovate.

Obviously, you have never had an inventive, creative idea — much less be holder of one or more patents. Sour grapes?

“Patents are government-enforced theft. They should not exist.”
Tell that to Ben Franklin. Patents are a way of seeing that the inventor is able to profit by is or her invention for a reasonable amount of time.
If that isn’t the way it works anymore, then you need to tell it to Congress, as they are the ones responsible today.

I have a good friend who’s an insanely talented programmer- he thinks patent laws are evil too!
