Mr. Gates on sw patents:
If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today’s ideas were invented and had taken out
patents, the industry would be at a complete stand-still today.
The solution . . . is patenting as much as we can. . . . A future start-up with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants choose to impose. That price might be high: Established companies have
an interest in excluding future competitors.
