Lets say we extend patent protection to 17 years? During that time no add-on research can be done by any company except the one who holds the patent. Does this speed up the progress of mankind? Firstly, patent protection can be overdone. Secondly, do you think that without it that there would be no invention? You had better give that misconception some serious thought......
Don't insult an idea before you think about it thouroughly.
