The open source world kinda suggests the opposite. I think people generally want to be understood & want to be recognized for their contributions.

It's mostly scammers claiming to be working on getting patents (having actually invented nothing) that work to obfuscate how things work.

And there is a whole industry currently built around buying patents simply to attack innovators.

Crowd funding (especially with zaps & zap splits) seems potentially useful for directly rewarding innovators. Though maybe it needs to be done via liquid or some sidechain/spiderchain that allows some sort of escrow or something in the event that an idea does turn out to be a scam, assuming it's necessary to conceal details until a certain amount is committed.

If their are no trademarks or ways to register intellectual property how could you prove it is fraud... maybe the person experienced the exact sequence of ideas as Lyn and wrote them down? If ideas are not subject to rivalry as you claim this would be perfectly acceptable

There are lots of ways to prove when you came up with or created a thing. That still doesn't prove you deserve any sort of reward, I have a thousand ideas for how to improve things, but until I implement some of them & produce something of value no one owes me anything. No one owes me a share of their work if they create something I thought of first.
