Of course patents are monopolies. Be serious. And innovation is driven by profit, not by the privilege to threaten violence. Patents just redirect and distort where R & D investment goes. There was plenty of innovation before patents existed. Some European countries didn’t have anything like intellectual “property” until as late as the 1950’s. We didn’t even have software patents until the 1980’s.
If patents are monopolies provide some reference, a working definition. You are simply making up your own definition. That isn’t going to get it. Do I need to show you the definitions or can you look them up for yourself?
