Sitting here studying a patent thinking about how to make sure my potential product doesn't violate it .. and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that a system which allows for claiming intellectual property of quite generic 'inventions' is a net negative.

It's half the reason our healthcare system is so broken.

Probably even more crazy is that it's possible to patent math .. as was the case with Schnorr signatures up until the patent ran out in 2008.
