How IPR Militates Against USA Security

There is technology that is classified secret that does not see the lighjt of day for a while.  Those get stolen by spies.

Watching patent activity allows people to know what you capabilities are, and where you have constrained yourself in operating.

There are patents that limit what anyone else can do around the monopolized item.  Room to move is useful in defense.

There are "submarine patents" that keep inventors wary of proceeding, and slow down the innovation process.

USA's only unique aspect is freedom (and if only conceptual at this point).  Monopolies are the antithesis of freedom.  In the three ways above, we are constrained from having a creative, effective defensive response.

The best defensive weapon is one that does not yet exist.  It cannot be overcome, no one can overcome that which cannot yet be seen.

Give people freedom, and they will come up with the means to defend themselves.
