One part of IP law that needs to remain is attribution. We don't want people copying others work and claiming they made it.
Another part is trademark law. It should not be possible for e.g. coca cola to make Pepsi cans with horrible tasting drinks inside.
However, most of Patent law, and a lot of Copyright law should be scrapped.

- uiri 8y agoTrademark law functions as an extension of laws against fraud. It really doesn't have much to do with copyrights nor patents.
- msla 8y ago> One part of IP law that needs to remain is attribution. We don't want people copying others work and claiming they made it. The social norm against plagiarism is plenty strong. It's so strong, in fact, plenty of people think copyright law prohibits it. https://waxy.org/2011/12/no_copyright_intended/ https://waxy.org/2011/12/no_copyright_intended/ > Another part is trademark law. It should not be possible for e.g. coca cola to make Pepsi cans with horrible tasting drinks inside. And this is why trademark law shouldn't have been swept up under the illusory banner of "Intellectual Property" to begin with: Rightfully considered, it's a consumer protection law, not a property law.
