Ahrvid, du skriver "Utan patent – inga eller färre uppfinningar" vilket är det grundläggande felslut varpå resten av din argumentation verkar vila. Det finns tom empirisk forskning på området, t.ex. från länder som varit utan patentskydd en viss tid - se Schweiz eller Nederländerna runt förra sekelskiftet:
In the Netherlands the old patent laws were clumsy and poorly drafted. The government decided they were unreformable, and simply scrapped them. In Switzerland, the confederation developed without them, and decided to keep it that way. Contrary to all current predictions of what the impact of such abrogations would be, in both nations they appear to have contributed to massive economic growth and innovation.
(...)
Industrial innovation flourished, especially in food technology. No country, Schiff notes, has ever contributed "as many basic inventions in this field as did Switzerland during her patentless period". In 1875, for example, Daniel Peter invented milk chocolate. In 1879, Rudolf Lindt developed chocolat fondant. In 1886, Julius Maggi invented powdered soup. A few years later he developed stock cubes. All these men founded companies which still bear their names today. But the biggest food firm to emerge in this period took root in 1865, when Henri Nestle developed a cereal for children.
