I’m not sure if this is a joke, but patents are very much (supposed to be) required to be innovative, as in if there’s any “prior art” (i.e. anything evidence of it already existing either in another patent or just publicly) then you can’t patent it
I’m sure lots of things are “supposed to be” a certain way, but in true American fashion, most of these kinds of laws aren’t enforced until the parties end up in court.
You know, the courts that are famously impartial and who never rule along ideological or party lines, are never swayed by whoever has the “better” lawyers, and are never biased against minoities. Oh, and litigation is super cheap too, and so frivolous lawsuits definitely can’t be used as financial weapons.
