I don't think that's actually the case. Huge companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google spend a massive amount of time and money fighting comparatively tiny patent trolls. While they might not want to abolish the current patent system, they certainly want to see it changed.
- InclinedPlane 16y agoSure, it's a huge cost to big companies (and smart big companies who are actually innovative and passionate see that as a bad thing). But it's a cost that big companies are capable of shouldering. Whereas these costs can be existential risks for smaller companies. That gives bigger companies a competitive advantage. The same is true of a lot of regulation.
