I really don't understand this position. Are you saying that if I have a great idea and try to patent it but don't have the money to implement it, that it is ok for someone else to take my idea and captialize on it with no compensation to me? :?:
Don't you think you have to do something though? An idea by itself is valueless, unless something is done to put it into action.

I work with Technical Ceramics. If you want to patent a material that, say, is to be used for microwave filters, you need to specify a composition range and show that you have done development work to justify why you are selecting those materials. No results, no patent.
