I find your views on this issue to be quite socialist in nature. if the innovator is not protected why would they even risk their idea to go public for fear of losing it to larger companies. you keep saying for the betterment of society this definitely smacks of socialism, when the fruits of my labors are not my own there is no incentive to produce and all innovation ends all the innovations of the past are based on finding an idea and then making that idea better or replacing that technology with something cheaper that's how we got from oil lamps to electric lights there is no true altruism it's all self interest if society benefits from my invention all the better but self interest comes first it's free market capitalism that works not socialism.
