Funny how they ask it now that China took the lead in patents.

Why does US only recognize a bad idea when they end up on the receiving end?

I don't think China has anything to do with it. People have been complaining about patents (and especially abuse of patents) for years/decades.

Yes, ever since the beginning. Which is at least 2 decades. And until now, it was totally in vain.
