This by no means implies that the whole concept of IPR’s is being destroyed. On the contrary, inventors still retain a right to ownership of their intellectual creation, but they have to realize that they alone are not the ones who have a stake in those creations. The fact that they are around implies that they owe the fact of their existence to the wider circle. Since nothing and nobody exists in a vacuum, what happens anywhere tends to ripple across all the space everywhere. Thus the wider circle indeed has a say and a share in the intellectual creation that the inventor comes up with.
