when you invent a device, usually it is in proto-type form and it takes 2 years just to get it out in public if lucky. If your patent did nto last a large company could just wait 2 years and rather then sharing hte profit from your invention run you out of business with money alone.
That said patents should not be put on stupid things..example..if a touch screen was invented and you add it to a mobile device and patent it..thats just dumb...There has to be a stricter limitations on the patent and of course patents should not be sold.

I personally do not believe in patents. I have my reason's which we can discuss in some other forum, on another day. I post on Dawgrant.com if you want to discuss these things. I also post on others, I'm not trying to take this thread any more off topic than I already have. Sorry to the threadstarter for doing that to you.
