So when you go out and build a better mousetrap, patent it so you can get a reasonable return for your vast amounts of research, design, & engineering on the mousetrap, it's okay for Samsung to rush a competing product to the market that rips off all the work you put into designing a better product, cut into your sales, and financially threaten your ability to produce future improvements?
We, as in human beings, can only create better products by being able to profit off the product of our labor. If you allow competitors to wander in after-the-fact and release a design for less (which they can do because their investment was less, copying a design costs less than creating something new), there's no incentive to design a better product, and the end result is stagnation.
