npub1vmm9yf0lr304ejmyyd0j328792l8rndcal7mrlcku7j5ge00u0xqs4kc2a (npub1vmm…kc2a) I think that if we were reinventing that whole mechanism (patents) with no prior art, we would end up with something that looks a lot different. Same goals, more than likely, but very different mechanics, particularly in light of the fact that people don't need much encouragement these days to write things down, and so inventions are almost never truly lost anymore, with or without patents.
