Yeah, I think patent is designed to encourage inventors to disclose their inventions, and copyright is designed to encourage authors to contribute more. Both
were supposed for common good, and they weren't supposed to be something obstructive.
They also weren't described as "intellectual property" which is a bit popular nowadays. Ideas simply cannot and should not be any kinds of "property".
