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.

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).
