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.

The market will be responsible for them getting better ideas to beat the big companies ... 

A patentless system makes it even easier for other businesses to enter a specific segment of a market ... 

It is the smaller businesses that would benefit more from a patentless system when the bigger companies doing free R&D for them and that they often have the better ideas than what the small companies could ever hope to make ...
