  • I as a Muslim, do not believe in patenting ideas already, because you can’t deny copying ideas. But most Muslims don’t know about this, unless they actively ask this question. You can also not restrict someone else with what they do with after you sell your product to them, unless it’s something haram you want to do of course.

    But, and there is a big BUT here, you can’t copy someone elses brand. You can’t put someone elses name on it and sell a product without asking for permission first.

    Also, neither USA, nor any other country is following the Patent law when it comes to things when it really matters. Power and politics matter, and if you think about it, it is hypocritical of them to apply the patent law when they want and not apply it when they don’t want, but if you think about it, patents are actually made so only rich gets richer and poor people don’t copy it from them. It’s to protect the rich.
