    I’m not anti-profit. I’m anti state-granted monopoly.

    If you invented it first, you already have advantages: expertise, brand, speed, know-how, first-mover position, customer trust. Profit should come from executing better, not from getting the state to forbid competitors from improving on your idea.

    Patents are not capitalism; they are government-enforced market exclusion.
