Patents are not forever, but inventions are

Inventions cannot be judged on patent parameters, but patents have the ability to take inventions very far

Holding a patent doesn't mean you are inventive, and not holding a patent doesn't mean you are not.

Patents protect ideas, but only if they are implementable.

All inventions are not patentable, and all patented subjects are not inventions.

True inventors do not sit on their inventions
