I like the Wang technique better. You simply innovate faster 
than the pirates can copy.

Why waste the time and money on a patent you cannot, or will not
enforce?

I think it comes down to, if you are not a company that is big enough
to have a patent department with full time lawyers and staff and the
invention is likely to be a big seller (or part of a big seller) of
then patents are a waste.
