All the time.

The patents don't last forever anyways

Looks at this Commie that thinks my inventions belong to the State.

I am not joking its literally all the time they do that.

Tje patents are for like 30 years.

@MountainMan yes it's usually to make up for those costs in developing

What ate you talking about? I am saying that patents shouldnt exist. Less government. @Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

I've heard that Kurds are Socialists that like to move to Sweden

Shush boomer

And the British are cuckolds who cant even leave a union. <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

Why should I invent something, if it immediately becomes Public Property

Yeah that's the point really

If you're gonna spend billions, risk getting sued into hell if you make a mistake, waste decades researching something,

And then someone else that didn't send those billions can just copy you and make the pills for less

🤷

Isn’t that why the patent office exists

@MountainMan it's not even that people wouldn't do it because the evil capitalist only wants money, they literally need the money to fund other research and development

patents laws was made becuse in the old time we did find out from experience that is there was no laws protecting shit, people will steal it and claim it as their own

in theory, if you did find out the exact recipe for coca cola, you can make it and they cant sue you for that part. only the breach of a protected brand name, as it never have been patented anywhere to keep it a secret

That's why all the sodas taste the same

The secret is 3 gallons of @MountainMan for every 0.5 liters of coke

I actually work for all the soda conglomorates

Not good enough is it?

No, it's a fudge... a really bad fudge

BRINO... not as bad as Theresa May's version, but it's still making us subserviant to EU on issues that a sovereign nation should decide for itself.

Sure, it's a temporary stepping-stone, but it smells of the type of surrender we can expect from the final FTA.

@MountainMan Yeet the patent office.

It's your responsibility to protect your inventions, not the states.

Also, private patent offices are a thing.

so what do do, shoot the person that copies you?
