Of course if I invent patent A someone can invent patent B and take it further or change it in some way. That's been the way of science through the ages. Most inventions today come from people taking one mans ideas and developing them into another use.
You see what big corporations will do and think it's wrong. So come up with a workable logical solution. We can all point to the problems. Point is to the solutions that work.

Your solution to problems caused by large gangs of thugs is to give power to an even bigger gang of thugs.
Btw: It seems you have no idea what patents are and how they work and where they came from and how the concept evolved.
