Kinsalla attacks the IP situation every time he writes something. I believe he is a patent lawyer, too. He has a lot of good examples of stifling innovation. Innovation is also stifled by the narridigm. Did you know Einstein was a patent office clerk? He had several patents to his name, how do you think he got them? Working in the office, several disparate patents. Ahh……. Yes.
I'm a big Kinsella fan. He's probably my favorite Austrian school thinker, too bad he doesn't do it full time.
I knew about Einstein working in a patent office, but I didn't know he was a patent poacher.

Yes, he poached quite a few. That is what made him independently wealthy and able to do his theory.
