A patent itself is not a reward, its a cost. The value you extract out of it can be valuable, which brings us back to square one: incentives.

A patent is an asset. An asset is anything that has present or future value to a company. So - being granted the patent is a reward for creating the invention and going through the process of filing the patent.

Right.. and Tesla threw those incentives away. So, are incentives the "end all and be all" of analysis? It seems like it isn't.
