I like the idea behind IP of protecting small companies from larger companies that just copy them and then have the budget to just out market the smaller company into bankruptcy. Large companies don't need this protection as they have the marketing budget to compete with smaller or other large companies. The issue I see is that intellectual property is too complicated and expensive for small companies to use that only large companies actually use it and they use it to abuse smaller companies. I think the best REAL solution for small companies is to just get rid of intellectual property all together. IP didn't stop facebook from just copying snapchat or countless others, Microsoft, Google and Apple are all the same doing it too. Remove IP laws an smaller companies will be able to look at cool stuff Larger companies do and innovate on it. China isn't ham strung by IP like this if we in the west want to keep up with China, we need to be able to continuously improve on our innovations and IP prevents this.
