I see little evidence of that latest claim.

China doesn't recognize software patents and it's rife with cheap copies and clones of existing products and produces very little innovation.

The US recognizes patents and is the most innovative country on many fronts (not just software).




Australia and Europe do not recognize them either. Australia is pretty innovative in the software industry considering its small population (which is less than 1/10th of the US).

how?

Semiconductors are in Taiwan, South Korea and EU tooling

Is there more bleeding edge tech than Semiconductors?


Europe doesn't have software patents neither and you have lots of complex teleco hardware.
