The standard Libertarian position on patents is "rabid". Whether "rabidly for" or "rabidly against" or "rabidly endorsing some highly nuanced conditional niche position in between", we're in pretty solid agreement on the "rabid" part. Some of us strongly believe in intellectual property. Some of us believe that initiating force to defend "imaginary property" that's really a euphemism for a government-granted monopoly is both dishonest and anathema. So take your pick.
