Given the requirement for an idea to be unanticipated and nonobvious, maybe the
working model is not so bad of a requirement, anyway. Actually, the way I have
had the concept stated as patent attorneys is novel and surprising. The more I
think about it, the more I like the latter, and the more I like the idea of
getting back to the working model requirement. If you can virtually reduce an
idea to practice inside of your head without making a model, then the idea fails
the 'surprising' test.

"Promote the progress of Science and the useful arts"
Does not mean that "society" benefits from each individual patent.
Progress in science and the useful arts is promoted because of the benefits of
getting a patent and the pain of being late to the party (not getting a patent
and/or being beaten to the party by someone that got a patent). This encourages
inventors to move rapidly. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Perhaps you can identify a single small inventor who was able to actually
come up with a valid invention that he couldn't afford to build so was
appropriately granted a patent?"
That would be the description of most valid patents ever asserted by a terrible
Patent Enforcement Entity. They get those patents by purchasing them from small
inventors and/or collapsing startups and the like, thereby giving the inventors
at least something for their efforts, usually after they were ignored by the
companies the PAE eventually go after.
