State should pay patent litigation costs, says inventor

The state should pay the litigation costs of inventors trying to protect their patents, inventor Trevor Baylis has said. That is the only way to protect lone inventors from having their ideas stole by major companies, the wind-up radio inventor said.

Baylis hit the headlines last week when he wrote to Government Business Secretary Peter Mandelson to say that patent infringement should be made a criminal offence.
