But the gist of your statement is pretty much spot on.

At the very least they have (for now) limitations on how long they are protected: iirc 20 years. Hopefully Monsanto doesn't get the opportunity to pull a Disney and ruin patents as completely as copyright.

edit: Skasi, patents can be beneficial. They encourage companies and inventors to share how they accomplished something cool. There are some obvious problems (see above) and companies like to use them as ammo to prevent others from getting an edge, but they are not entirely without merit. I would also support copyright if it was actually limited in duration, because the intention behind it is well and good, but it just doesn't work when the protection never ends.
