I can see several nice changes to patent law, but intellectual property is just a make-belief nickname for a group of laws, all with different aspects and goals. The only common denominator in each law, is that they are tools of the state and that they are indistinguishable from industry regulations.
Copyright is a state granted monopoly on information, intended to encourage more works but to the cost of an increase unit sale price. It was a barging between the producers of creative works and society. Sadly, this law has not been updated with that goal in hundred of years, but rather taken off in the belief that any cost-benefit for society is simply not necessary.

Trademark is a consumer protection law, intended to protect a consumer rights to get what he pays for. Trademark scope is sometimes abused with the intent to prevent competition. This is wrong, and should be illegal but is rarely punished. The state gives some privilege to the target producer that a trademark contain, but the purpose of the law is clear.
