> 95 percent of all patented discoveries from ever being put to use to create new products

Is this really assuming that every patented idea is a good one? Doesn't everyone assume the opposite, that most patented ideas are crap? I'm not surprised to learn that 95% of crappy ideas never turn into new products.

> More than likely, you won’t be able to put it to good use unless you have the multi-million-dollar resources required to launch a startup

How is this worse than starting a business without a patent? I don't think patent law was also supposed to be a guarantee you'd get a small business loan.
