I don't think the patents itself are wrong but the broken patent system which accepts obvious ideas (1 click patent ?), limits itself to the big boys and then grants large patent terms.
Also, the patent shouldn't be on the idea, but on the exploitation of an idea. If a given entity makes more money from a patent by licensing it compared to actually using it, it's a pretty good sign that the society didn't benefit from the patent but actually granted a temporary monopoly on something and that's actually slowing down progress.
