Ask HN: Should patent law be so restrictive?
1 point by iamsupercereal on April 5, 2018 | hide | past | favorite
Is the current system of protecting patents useful? Makes sense why trademarks and copyrights are enforced, to prevent companies selling products fraudulently. But what's wrong with someone copying/improving upon your invention and selling it under a different name without restrictions? What's the pros and cons?
