That is the exact sentence to which I refer. Note that it says nothing about &quot;disclosure&quot; or &quot;recouping investments in R&amp;D&quot; or &quot;protecting the little guy&quot; or any of the rationalizations people typically assign to the patent system. It is deliberately vague and open to interpretation, specifying in broad terms only the means (&quot;time limited monopolies&quot;) and the ends (&quot;progress of ... the useful arts&quot;).
