With the rise of AI, global competition, and copycats moving faster than ever, is getting a patent still the smartest move for independent inventors?

Some say yes: it protects your hard work and adds value.
Others say no: it’s expensive, slow, and doesn’t stop knockoffs.

I think if you have a chance to patent your invention, it gives you more options and protection. For example if I do get a patent I can have a better shot at licensing to earn royalties and if I do manufacture then if somebody infringes I have the right to protect it
