Nope. I see no INHERENT contradiction between "intellectual property" and libertarianism. I file for, and obtain, a patent because I happen to live in a nation that has a directive to provide a patent-type system written into the Constitution. That does not mean that I believe that every action of government here is 'proper'.
A patent-type system could be implemeted by a system of voluntary agreements between all people in society. I've mentioned this before, but not recently. Suppose that there are two classes of people and organizations: "Cooperators" and "non-Cooperators". The former agree to protect the rights of people who own intellectual property. The latter do not. The former agree not to sell, give, loan, etc, intellectual property items to any "non-Cooperator". A "non-Cooperator" can only buy items in stores that are not covered by what would be called "the patent system". A "Cooperator" can buy anything. A person can choose which group he will be in.
If anybody violates this agreement, he is violating the agreement he freely agreed to. This has nothing to do with the existence of a government.

Read what I just wrote. A non-governmental basis for a 'patent system'. One that you presumably couldn't have imagined.
