    There’s no point? There is a point: To protect the rich and powerful. The patent system is serving its purpose here as intended by the people who have been making these rules.

      That is not the official goal of the patent system in any country, and any behavior like that should be stopped.

        The stated purpose of the police is not “protect the rich from the poor”.

        The stated purpose of war is not “to extract resources from that country and fund the industrial war machine”.

        Many things are made for serving a purpose that’s not said out loud.
