Did she also introduced a bipartisan bill to make those patents public?

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 50 points 6 months ago

I would support that unironically. Patents should be illegal anyway they exist solely to stifle innovation, patents for safety or health things should be double illegal.

So make the patent public, and then make it the law that everyone has to do it.

I don't fully agree, but this should be the starting position

About the patents? Or about the making it a law that safety devices be installed in products?

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Abolishing all patent law, I think there's a justification for it, but it really needs to justify itself into existence instead of being the default position. It's also possible that it's unjustifiable, but that discussion is 50-200 years away from happening anyway
