Yes. The main attorney specialised in patent law there is the son and nephew

No. It never makes sense. You cannot justify the Intellectual Slavery system,
anymore than you can justify the Human Slavery system. It's a restriction on
human freedoms; it's incompatible with actual property rights (as it restricts
what I can do with my own physical property); it's a subsidy to those who were
born into it (when you follow the money that flows to copyrights and patents
holders, you see the majority goes to inherited wealth).

It's economically bad and morally wrong, is as much as you can have something
morally wrong. Here is a classic example of what the Intellectual Slavery
industry has brought us: [https://qz.com/1125690/big-pharma-is-taking-

The system is utter garbage. We need to shatter the brainwashing that these
things make sense.
