创意助推经济。但今天的专利制度是一种对其奖励的糟糕方式。1970年,美国承认了作物科学的潜力,扩大了农业专利的范围。专利的目的是奖励创造,因此这原本应当促进进步。然而,尽管提供了额外保护,这一变化以及20世纪80年代对该制度的进一步拓展都未能促进对小麦的私人研究,也未能提高产量。总体而言,美国农业生产率继续保持温和攀升的态势,与过去没多大差别。
Creative boost economy. But today’s patent system is a bad way to reward it. In 1970, the United States recognized the potential of crop science and expanded the scope of agricultural patents. The purpose of a patent is to reward creativity, so that should have promoted progress. However, despite the additional protection provided, this change and the further expansion of the system in the 1980s failed to promote private research on wheat and to increase production. Overall, the rate of agricultural productivity in the United States continuing to maintain a mild upward trend is not much different from the past.
