Patents Are Eating the World and Hurting Innovatio...
The only fix patents really need is a decrease in time. Make it 2 or 3 years instead of 20(retroactive, no grandfather clause) and dump software/DNA/genetic patents. Go back to patents being actual inventions instead of ideas and processes.

If you drop DNA patents would you recommend it be covered by copyright? Tough if there is bothing preventing direct copying.
