Actually, what the linked Tim Lee article argues is that using the Coase Theorem to argue that a more efficient patent system would not benefit development. I’m not sure how you’d go straight from the Coase Theorem to making an argument that patents harm development.

I think it’s a similar way or presenting the same conclusions, but yours is more precise.

As Tim Lee stresses with the backing of the Coase Theorem, patents harm development.
