gollark: The main issue with the self-assessed-value-based patent tax thing is that people who independently come up with an extremely good idea may not be able to secure enough funding to keep hold of it for a while. But I'm not sure how common that is.
gollark: Limit copyright to 10 years or so, with an extension if you give the copyright office the "source code" to release publicly when it's up.
gollark: So the idea is that *you* pick a value for your patent, and anyone who is willing to put up that much money can buy it off you.
gollark: One of them was to make it so you had to pay some % of your patent's value to keep it (probably an increasing-over-time amount). Now, you might say "hmm but how do you assess value", which is an entirely reasonable concern.
gollark: There are various interesting proposals for adjusting them.
