Exactly the same issue occurs with copyright ("look and feel" litigation)
and "ever-green" patenting (pharmaceuticals).

The rot began when courts and patent offices began accepting any old

Just as nothing changed after the GFC, nothing will change in respect
of these.  It requires a complete social meltdown to occur before
governments make changes of any substance - and then only grudgingly.
