      Major issue with this is that patents were initially designed to benefit engineers, inventors, and scientists who come up with new research. Patents are designed to allow them to profit off of their own discovery. With a patent, other companies that want to use their idea have to go through them, they don't need a product. Your idea breaks the entire point of patents.

I could just pick a stick from my backyard, put it up for sale on ebay, and now I've got an "actual product" and can get back to suing people within 5 minutes. The barrier your solution creates will probably be streamlined by companies that will pop up to offer "patent to demo product" services for the trolls.

Manufacturing is always cheaper than R&D, and the start-up time to manufacture new items is shrinking. I don't think patents are bad, it's just the way they're implemented that's bad.

    So now every shop doing a black Friday promotion has to either pay that firm a fine or has to rename their sale to "Red Friday", "Black Week", "Black Weekend", etc.

    The "Non obvious for anyone skilled in the trade" is the root of all patent problems. Why are so many dumb things awarded patents when many reference previous art upon which no non obvious improvement is achieved ? Trolls wouldn't be able to file patents if it patents were not given away. Companies wouldn't be able to sue each other for mundane features if they were not awarded patents for anything. I think patents are given away so easily because it's a big business for lawyers and patent office, so there's a lot of lobbying so things are not changed by politicians.

    I think it would be best to keep patents to secure innovation, but with some major changes.
    1) Patents should be annulled if the patentholder are not actively working towards getting it to market (parameters could be investments, people getting hired on the specific project and so on, depending on the industry)
    2) Patents should expire faster (maybe 5 years, maybe depending on industry).
    To be clear this is thoughts based on the video, and has not been thought through. Still think it's better than today's patentsystem, and what would happen without patents completely.

    There's actually a disincentive to search for prior patents concerning an idea, because if you then use the patent (even if it is worthless) you're seen as wilfully (rather than inadvertently) abusing the patent, which under US laws carries (I believe) triple damages. As a result, the patent laws wind up working against their supposed core aim of encouraging dissemination and use of prior art.

    I actually work within an industry that uses and needs patterns while also working closely with areas patents are a waste of time. The real issue with them - is they're far too broad, patents should be used only to target very specific products which need the push for innovation.
    I'm going to be blunt - the vast majority of software has basically no right to patents, trade secrets? Maybe. But patents? Not at all. The industry is too large and too many people work on it to restrict ideas to one company, ideas simply aren't unique - and the best ones will be thought of by multiple people because they're good ideas - but not some unique world-changing innovation, and they rarely take that much time to design and produce.
    On the other hand, if you compare it to say - designing a complicated chip or piece of machinery - it's fine to patent that particular design, those do take years of research and because they're so specific someone can make similar without being able to actually steal all your work.
    Even with that said I've never liked or trusted patents - they keep the best products expensive. I mean the main reason parmesan cheese is so damn expensive is only one company is legally allowed to produce it. I just don't trust patents not to be abused to make everything more expensive and while that matters less to me nowadays - that matters a whole lot more to the vast majority of people who can't afford it.
    Patents should be a lot, lot shorter - and companies should be allowed to take ideas IF they can produce it more efficiently and cheaply - because that in itself is a worthwhile innovation!

    The system is slow by design unlike the dmv, patent filing takes 22 months so that the person, can file the patent in other countries too, since there is no international patent. If it takes only one month the person doesn't have time to file it in other countries and if it is already patented in one country, it loses its "novelty" thus cannot be patented in other countries.

    I'd say as the rate of advancement accelerates patent expiration date should get shorter and shorter.
    It's kind of difficult to explain in short youtube comment, and I have to desire to write long post about it, but right now new innovation can be exploited in 5-10 years and then it's either not relevant anymore OR it becomes so widespread that it's impossible to do any business without it.
    Compare it to early 20th century, - most patents probably won't be widespread until at least a decade has passed. It's just wasn't as relevant.
    I'd say in 2020s patents should have 3-7 years expiration. It'll boost economy and won't hurt innovation.

    On the Pharmaceutical innovation end you are exactly right about innovation.
    Trade secrets dont work in pharmaceuticals very well. When you’re looking at a chemical compound like a drug it’s pretty easy to analyze what it is made of, and it had to go through extensive FDA approval processes that document it pretty thoroughly.
    So yes, patent law leads to high prices for the first 20 years a drug exists, and yes, some people can’t afford it during that time period. However the drug would not be developed at all if it weren’t for patent law protecting it. So in the interest of getting new drugs we allow high prices for the first 20 years because new treatments save the most lives in the long run.

    I noticed to made a very illogical point:
    You said that it was a tragedy that some people cannot afford the drugs monopolized by the pharm. companies. This is not true, because if they were forced to reduce the price or not have a patent, the company wouldn't make the drug in the first place, thus saving NO LIVES. Even if the price is too high, more lives are being saved because some people can actually buy a drug that didn't even exist before.
