And people continue to repeat the incorrect statement that patents appear in the constitution: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/throw-patent-trolls-under-the-bridge-95188.html …
@ExeteraAdams It authorizes Congress to _optionally_ do things _like_ patents if it thinks it promotes the arts and sciences. That is all.

@ExeteraAdams Saying that patents are "enshrined in the Constitution" is an absurd statement unrelated to what is actually there. -
@cmuratori "Enshrined" is the wrong word, yes, but it's not irrelevant that they were one of the original enumerated powers. - Show replies
