I don't think the IP system protects inventors at all. It takes a long time & easily costs tens of thousands of dollars to get a patent & you face legal threats from massive companies in the process. Most inventors have to work salaried jobs for mega corps who ultimately own all of their inventions.
A system where anyone who invented anything was free to start a business & produce it without having to pay for permission to do so, or to seek legal protection for the use of their own ideas would be a system that was good for individual inventors. IP effectively does the opposite of that.
