I'm thinking its about time we dispense with the pretext of the patent altogether.

Big companies just give a bunch of money to the government and a union/cabal of elite lawyers. Later, if someone else comes up with a business plan that threatens their profits, they can just ask the government to put them out of business.

Whoever's put the most money in wins. Its like a giant ebay auction, but for the whole market.
