Gowers Review – UK’s patent application rate is “inordinately lower than that for other comparable economic areas".

No shit Andrew. Well done mate. You have stated what is blatantly obvious. Perhaps you are ready for the next step. Perhaps you are ready to find out why this is so?

Let me save you some time.

Every invention ever produced by innovators in the UK is stolen. Stolen by slavering spittle-flecked fat-cat greed freaks and common crooks. This is due to to the fact that our “government” thinks it is a good idea to allow the wealthy to steal from the talented. But, oops, it doesn’t quite work, eh? Our innovation rate is crashing.

Who the hell wants to produce something which is legally able to be stolen?

D minus – must do better.

I’ve got more to say about this.
