It is our responsibility not only to do everything we can do to perfect the patent system in the United States ... and we must also actively educate the world that it is fundamentally the best system. [8]

I'm a pure capitalist, I believe in markets. I think treating intellectual property and patents, and trademarks and copyrights, as property will bring more efficiency and more innovation. ... [T]here are great ideas that people have patented. They're not necessarily the best people to manufacture or develop that idea, but they can sell that idea to someone else. [9]
