Software patents shouldn’t even be a thing. Actually there shouldn’t be any patents at all.
They only hinder development. If someone comes up with a solution/product/whatever that is better than the original, they should be able to create that.
If this harms the original creator they’ll be forced to keep up and make their own thing better again.
Competition is always good. It makes people strive to be better.
