I mean if we lived in a post capitalist world, yeah I'd love to see the concept of patents abolished. But in the world as it is today, they are an indirect measure of technological development.
I don't even believe this is true. There is plenty of literature out there about how # of patents =/= innovation (or even tangentially relate to it).
Seems to be in line with the fact that China now tops U.S. in quantity and quality of scientific papers https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Science/China-tops-U.S.-in-quantity-and-quality-of-scientific-papers
Useful for a measure, not a quota.
