Pretty much. Any small player would never dare to innovate, because they'd know some big shot company (Samsung, Apple, Google, whatever) would just rip off their idea instantly, and since they have way more funding and brand power and everything, they would destroy those smaller players.

Patents are a great thing.

More often than not the patent system favours big companies over small ones ...

Because they have the good patents now, and the way to beat them is to get better ideas than theirs, not to recycle the ideas that they have. A patentless system would favour big companies even more.
