So what does poor patent quality

mean? An innovator could go out of

business in the time it takes to getpatents approved.

Their invention could be outdated bythe time it is patented.

They can make no money off theirproduct.

Less innovators mean: Less Jobs More Outsourcing Further Economic Collapse
