When my company invests 400K in research and development to find a new algorithm or way of improving business, why should my competitors be allowed to use it for free? The same goes for biotech - they invest billions! Why should the other companies get it for free? Who would be stupid enough to do the research if they couldnt protect it? 17 years is barely enough time to make the recoup on the money spent on drugs + failed drugs at the moment - if 17 years of revenue isnt enough, then how will being first to market help them? Arggh... people who dont know the ins and outs of the industry, budgets and costs associated with r&d in computer/biotech have no place in making comments.
