Only so far as the government allows. Outside of government protection, there's no such thing as patents or copyright at all. If a company is found to have misused its powers, they can be reigned in. Microsoft has been convicted of abusing its monopoly in the US and the EU, and the EU is actually enforcing that conviction.
