    Tbf, it only makes good business sense to try and patent everything you can. Either to hold it as a unique selling point over competitors or to license to others.

    I think the real problem here is the concepts of patents in general.

      If you want a market solution to correct this, it should cost more money to submit frivolous patents.

      Or simply rate limit the number of parents a company can submit if they have a lot of failed applications.

      Sorry, you’ve wasted our time with 3 failed applications this month, no more applications until next month.
