| It seems to me that relaxing the rules would create an environment where only the (already) rich could prosper.
It almost seems as if it would introduce the worste mechanism from the free market into patent law. It would give the rich the ability to steal successful, proven technologies, and produce a quality product, then lowball anybody who tried to compete with their price. Like the free market, the person with the biggest pile of cash could lower prices until the competition capitulates, then they recover any losses by raising the price once the competition is bankrupt, and out of business.
I think this would negate any intended advantage it was supposed to create. |
