According to the section "Cost 3" of "The Pros and Cons of Patents", only the creator of an idea can decide if that invention deserves the amount of time and effort invested protecting it.
The problems appear when patents are too narrow because this can lead to immediate confrontations between competitors or other inventors that <u>create a very similar product</u> or a slight variation of a product that was patented first, but doesn't actually violate any rights and it's appealing to the same market or targeted public.
Thus they say they came up with that idea on their own and a legal debate rises up, because there is actually no infringement but the ideas are very similar, only different in slight variations.
So those trivial circumstances can lead to a legal affair in court, because the rules about infringement can be tangling.
