You know, the last point is, who else does a patent system benefit? If it benefits large developers over small developers, is there anyone else? A patent system benefits non-developers. Do we really want a bureaucratic system that helps people who aren't adding anything to society? What I mean by non-developers are trolls &mdash; which everyone here is familiar with &mdash; people who get a patent either by applying for it or acquiring it in some asset purchase and then use it to tax other developers, other distributors of a product.
