I'm okay with patents in general, just not software patents, and other patents should be much shorter.
The original point was to encourage sharing of ideas in exchange for protection while you bring it to market. But it's mostly just weaponized at this point.
I'm thinking something like 5 years for most patents, with a one time extension of you can prove you need more time to bring it to market or establish first mover advantage (so 5 years from release or from expiry, whichever happens first).
