    This is literally just whataboutism. You must be degenerate if you think that there’s a correlation between the research performance of the listed countries and their patent laws. There are dozens of more useful and much more relevant indicators for why these nations are disadvantaged in this regard. But just stick to your belief that North Korea is what it is because it doesn’t have patent laws lol.

    Also, for you to better understand the harm that software patents caused and are causing, consider reading Free Software, Free Society by Richard Stallman.

      My mistake, you’re right. We should completely remove the incentive to innovate novel ideas and no longer protect them if they are created to allow theft.

      I am a hypocrite thief that uses free software in my daily life.
