PATENT TROLLING
1) utilitarian theory
Patent trolling should be allowed since many people would be happy for the new creation. We should consider the greater amount of happiness than the happiness of the creator alone.
Strenghts: Focus on more people's happiness
Weakness: The creator will not be happy.
2) Cultural Relativism
Every society has different culture. I assumed that Philippines has accepted or allowed the patent trolling. Since the work is patented in America, one person can patent it in their own country.
Strenght: Loving your country,
Weakness: Neglecting the relationship of other country and our own country.
3) Categorical Imperative
The patent trolling should be a universal law so that each and everyone would be happy at the same time creating fairness to every society.
Strenght: Being just
Weakness: People will just copy other's work. Thus, they will not use their own capabilities.
I chose pure utilitarian theory because we should consider if the work will give benefits to many people especially in our society wich lacks creations. We need other's creation for us to stand and be successfull as a society. Thus, patent trolling should be accepted. :)
