Dont worry, his comment denotes his lack of ingenuity and good ideas. Patent away, just make sure that you market them for use. If an auto company is going to make millions/billions off of an idea, why not have that idea and get paid. I have a number of ideas that I should patent/sell but am a little too lazy, so the ideas aren't even making it out in the open air for use. That might be more selfish. I would argue, though, that the most selfish is a company like honda that has numerous patents on snowmobile technology and they dont even make them. They are just coming up with ideas, patenting them, and stopping others from using those ideas. I guess it is easy to be made at others for the things they have in life, like happiness, money, family, or even good ideas that they could profit off of.
