Yes, patents should as well.
If someone creates something it's their property until at least their death. It's not an artificial monopoly, it's their fucking creation and their property and there's to do with what they will.
Assuming they decide not to just give it away....
They should be the only one who an produce it and try and make money off of it.
People can't edit it, remix it etc. without their permission. There's fair use, but they must be cited etc.
