Patents are still important to protect and reward research costs, elimination would destroy the pharma industry overnight for instance. I have no idea why you have a problem with trademarks. Why should a small family business be paying increasing fees to continue to operate as "Sanford and Son"? Or do you think I should be able to call my product "Heinz Ketchup" because they have had the name long enough?
