And it was granted for 5 years then and it did never work. When you take a look at inventions/IP in Germany from 18th century til now then you see that patents killed innovation. There have been some studies done on this, there are even papers from the US goverment from ~ 1950 that question the benefit of the patent system.

Here's a link to an explanation how patent system works today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AB633rlUkg - enjoy the "innovation". BTW, I hold patents myself, so I know quite well what they are good for.
