All quite interesting but irrelevant, since information and matter are
still different categories in these cases.  Or the words refer to
different things.  Some categories are a priori to thinking and not even
subject to physical research but only preconditions.

You needn't go to nearly as great lengths if your aim is to destroy the
conceptual basis of concepts like "novelty" and "inventivity" on which the
patent system is built.  So I conclude that your real aim is to get rid of
all patents.
