You have proposed state ownership of all successful IP. That is a massive change and yet you have demonstrated zero understanding of the possible costs.

Your claim that removing a profit motivation will increase investment is flat out wrong. Everything else crumbles from there.



No, I've proposed removing or reducing IP protections, not transferring them to the state. Allowing competitors to enter the market will obviously increase investment in competitors...


This is already happening - its called China. There's a reason they don't innovate in anything, and they are always playing catch-up, except in the art of copying (stealing) from others.

I do think there are some serious IP issues, as IP rules can be hijacked in the US, but that means you fix those problems, not blow up IP that was rightfully earned


> they don't innovate in anything

They are leaders in solar and EVs.

Remember how Japan leapfrogged the western car industry, and six sigma became required reading for managers in every industry?


Removing IP restrictions transfers them to the state. Grow up.
