Whose society and properties?
Corporations ?
I'm asking because many corporations push copyright extension when it benefits (Disney) and then fight patents when it helps them too.
A famous supreme court case Alice Corp. v CLS Bank nternational should be looked at. https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2019/04/article_0006.html https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2019/04/article_0006.h...
Major tech companies like Google and Amazon wrote amicus briefs that were AGAINST patents because they had the money and power to stomp on the little guys.
"Civilized" really has no meaning when laws are bent constantly by corporations.
