Imagine Thomas Edison not being able to get a patent in the light bulb because someone else rushed to a government office and filed documents first. The patent clause in the U.S. Constitution was meant to encourage and reward real inventors, not paper-pushers. This constitutional provision was unique when it was put into our Constitution, and it is still unique in the world today. It's the main reason why the United States is responsible for nearly all the world's great inventions.
Fortunately, a real inventor has filed suit against this new law, pointing out that it is unconstitutional, and he has top legal talent to back up his claims. The inventor is Mark Stadnyk, and his arguments make perfect sense. His lawsuit explains that the Framers of the Constitution were clear that it is "Inventors" who should have "the exclusive Right to their ... Discoveries." Our Founding Fathers inserted our unique patent clause in the Constitution to protect and encourage invention and innovation, not bureaucratic gamesmanship. Bravo to the real inventor who is standing up against the unconstitutional law passed by Congress.
