Posner weighs in on patent, copyright law reform
By Thom Holwerda, submitted by B. Janssen on 2012-10-03 23:50:05
Well known judge Richard Posner scores another home run. "I am concerned that both patent and copyright protection, though particularly the former, may be excessive. To evaluate optimal patent protection for an invention, one has to consider both the cost of inventing and the cost of copying; the higher the ratio of the former to the latter, the greater the optimal patent protection for the inventor."
