The bland leading the blind
Those who wish to abolish the patent system are those who do not have enough imagination to create something useful for the good of humanity. Without a patent system what would encourage someone to invent something if there is no benifit to themselves and manufactures could run with it at their profit and the inventors loss.
I'm on my second patent with seven more to go and in the process of developing a new solar energy system that could be of great benifit to humanity and our dire CO2 as well as dwindling energy problem. For all my work I deserve no reward ?? NOT

The only thing I see as needing change in the patent system is the exorbedent legal costs of defending a patent. If IP is being stolen a patent examiner should be able to determine that and then the courts can award damages. Why allow an entity with great wealth to break you into financial submission.
