Yes, certainly. And OP said corporation or inventor.
As long as we're doing capitalism, we ought to have a way for people to make a living off of knowledge work and the arts. Not selling physical artifacts of knowledge work, or making some sort of other derivative income off of it, but profiting directly from the generation and POC of good ideas. It is a system that served us well for one hundred years or more before being hijacked by a pack of ruthless jackals - I probably agree that if we can't fix it it's better to tear it down, but we should still try to fix it.
