Trademark law is largely good law that we should retain. Copyright law is largely not. Talk of "intellectual property" obfuscates the distinction.

Trademark has much more substantial free speech issues than copyright.

Personally, the only part of trademark I care about is impersonation. It should be illegal to claim that Google was involved in building my shitty products.
