The chance that whoever patents something is the best one to produce that thing is basically zero. The argument that it increases innovation is so moronic. IP is literally just a scam so big companies don't have to compete.

And mainly a feature to keep pharmaceutical prices as high as possible. Nevermind the fact that IP actively disincentivizes Pharma companies from making the most effective medicine. With patents pharma is incentivized to pump out just any compound that even remotely works while simultaniously burrying any side effects.
