Question

Do you think Edison would have been as inventive if the ability to patent inventions did not exist? Why or Why not?

Can someone please Give me a reasonable argument here? I can't quite decide if yes or if no.

Because, Yes Edison does have a great thousand inventions, However, not all of those inventions were originally his, He just made a better version of it, and at the time it was the best version thats how it was is.

Please tell me if im wrong about that!

Answer 1

I think it would be no, with the explanation you gave.

Answer 2

But.... He also was the inventor of the Light bulb.... one of the most important things known.. Harnessing energy and turning that into light.. it was the work of Edison, so technically it wasn't just the ability to Patent.

But in a way that was a reason he has so many inventions because he worked on so many models until they were rightfully his invention.

Answer 3

Yes, but the question is, 'as inventive'. That would be no, since many of his inventions/innovations were inspired by someone else's.

Answer 4

I say you are correcto:)
