There’s actually shockingly little evidence to support the claim that intellectual property rights increase innovation. Check the book Against Intellectual Monopolies if you want to be informed on the subject. Given the enormous, burdensome, and corruptible state apparatus required to enforce IP, it seems like the burden of proof should be on your side to support your claims.

Also, the incentive argument doesn’t really make sense. The IP framework is a type of all-pay auction, and those tend to generate losses for the participants.
