Correct. Patents and copyrights are state granted monopolies that are in direct opposition to free market forces that capitalism thrives on.

Sure, everyone should work for free except you, of course.

Patents only last 15 years. why isn't the government making insulin.

Your affection for patents does not disprove my original statement.
