I'm not arguing that our current laws are perfect. Most protections are too long lived, and our patent office isn't up to the task of distinguishing real inventions from farce.
Our views may not actually be that different. My conclusion is to throw out the laws because I don't think they do a very good job of accomplishing what we would like them to accomplish. Your conclusion is to make the laws better. I would agree with you more if there were any evidence of that ever happening.
