Each dot is a country, ordered in global competitiveness ranking versus IP protection ranking. Not surprisingly a country with a good IP protection system in place is more competitive.
The fall back in competitiveness of the Netherlands during its patent free era is further proof of the beneficial effects of a good IP system [3].
Summarizing:
Patents are good for us!
I wish you all happy inventing,
