If there's anything like "inherent" right to an idea, and two people independently come upon the same idea, do they both have this "inherent" right? Or does the one who came upon it earlier in time deprive the other one of the right?
If you made something, how can you be sure you invented it first, and that you have that "right", not someone else who came upon it earlier?
The whole concept of "inherent" right to an idea comes apart under closer inspection.
