Patents no longer go to individual people. They go to corporations. Perhaps we should ban corporations from getting patents on behalf of people.

That would be.. interesting from a compensation & retention (& poaching!) perspective!
So the work of 1000 people at a company may have gone into developing the tech that is to be patented, but we must restrict the patent to being owned by one single individual?
