In other words, what is supposedly found is an invention whose inventor is unaware of his act of invention, who considers it as something that exists independently of him; the invention then becomes the basis of his world view and actions. ↗

The right of an inventor to his invention is no monopoly - in any other sense than a man's house is a monopoly. ↗
