Debate: Do Patents Help or Hinder Innovation?

<< < (2/2)

Ferdousi Begum:
Thanks ma'am.

abduarif:
There's been this argument against the patent system, for that matter against the whole IP regime for long. The open source software came as a big slap on the face of IP. However, IP prevailed with all its drawbacks and shortcomings. It's because the balance of convenience was in favour of IP. I wonder how may people will buy a toothpaste without a label on the tube even after knowing that the paste is indeed very good.
