Yes, getting sued for stepping on a mine like rounded corners is so good for inventiveness.
IP helps fast modernization in new industries. Of the “industrial revolution” kind. It didn’t help inventiveness itself even back then, and now it’s clearly the main impediment.
Which also makes me think that all kinds of political diversity, even states like China, are good for humanity as a whole. How else would we be able to compare them after all.

It's so strange to me that people buy this BS line about IP laws having anything to do with why we get cool new things.
Either competition fosters innovation and therefore IP laws stifle it, or protecting monopolies fosters innovation and our IP laws make sense.
