The patent law is even worse. Anything that requires courts will favor the large corps that have the money to spend endlessly on lawyers. Patents keep the new guys out of the game. Say a big company steals a product from a startup, guess who cannot afford the legal battle? If threatened, the big guys claim that ten of their not-quite-related patents were infringed by startup, and counter-sue. From first hand experience, the patent keeps ideas out of use (all patent lawyers recommend submarine patenting any new ideas instead of developing them), hurt small companies and inventors, and are huge bludgeon against anyone that the big cos want to hit.
