"Just get rid of the part of the law which says patent infringement is illegal. Dispose of the concept."
I'm not saying it would be a bad idea, but just in case it didn't occur to you, you're basically speaking of getting rid of patents, period.
The whole basis for patents to exist is the "exhaustive disclosure of technical specifications in exchange for a temporary monopoly" deal. Without it, there's no patent at all.
Easy: the very notion of public domain is blasphemy to them. That's why they push regularly for the duration of copyright to be made longer and longer.
