ok I agree invention and innovation are great. yes, China is great. the problem is not every country can be China. we are sadly not so as smart as Chinese. however one thing you should keep in mind, having patent is one thing, making it commercial is another thing. you invented noodles, but nobody talks about chinese noodles, but Vietnamese made Pho´s. there are too many Pho restos in the world to count.No, I did not overstate the importance of patents.
You can't sell anything of value in the United States without patents.
Your brain seems to be stuck 200 years in the past when you mention the steam engine.
This is the MODERN WORLD.
Every year, there are thousands of patent lawsuits in the United States.
In the modern world, you cannot sell a product in the United States (the world's largest market) or in China (the world's second largest market) if you infringe on another company's patent.

By the way, are those Turkish forum members still around?
Turkey was granted a meager 136 USPTO patents for an entire year (see chart in earlier post with Taiwan's and Vietnam's annual USPTO patents granted).
Compare that to China's 11,241 USPTO patents received for last year.
As you can see, it is ridiculous to compare Turkey to Chinese technology.
