Yes stomped on. While you try to get up and running with the widget you invented, some large corporation with manufacturing capability in place, distribution networks established and advertising agencies under contract, flood the market before you can get your new company off the ground. That's why we have the patents you protest.

In a free market, if the widget was not protected by patent, trademark, copyright, etc., a company would be free to compete for the widget market.

I don't protest patents. Patents are the physical manifestation of a society that is creating, inventing, thinking.

Wrong again, Bruce.

That's a really strong argument you have there, Bruce -- don't strain your brain with it, OK?
