The details of patent law I'll leave to others to have an opinion about.  Copyright terms are too damn long. Trim it to 28 years for copyright, with an exception that when creating derivative fictional works, there is a term of life plus 7 years on creating those.  I have no problem with giving J.K. Rowling complete control over the Potterverse while she lives, but once she passes on, her estate shouldn't have the ability to decide which untalented hacks get to write sequels, prequels, alternate character viewpoint fiction, etc. to cash in on her genius.
