You should be able to own the right to bring a novel idea into production, after it’s generally available then it should have no protection.

Basically if you come up with an idea, you get to get the first initial rounds of profits to make it worth your while, that’s it.

    They need more regulating so they can't be abused by trolls

    There is different regulations all around the world so its probably got enough regulation. I dont think patent trolling is an actual problem im not aware of it happening at a meaningful scale.

    A worse problem is AI basically destroying copyright overnight but only for some cases. This creates such a horribly asymmetric environment where big companies are blatantly ignoring copyright while other industries still have to respect it.
