Imagine that someone on the street said you have red shoes, but he had red shoes first. So you should remove shoes.
And you comply. But you're not sad about it - in your opinion it makes intellectual capital a value. E.g. you now believe it is worth to wear a particular color of a particular apparel first and so on.
The problem: it was never stated by some kind of an authority, that the bully was right. He might as well have been wrong, and you granted his wish to remove your shoes simply on the basis of, to put it lightly, not being assertive enough.
Or to put it another way, the "intellectual capital" argument presupposes that you aspire to become a bully yourself, and live among a society of similar bullies. There is no incentivising effect on someone who wishes to innovate without abusing the legal system to stop others from creating similar things.
