Whenever PatentTalk comes up we see a lot of Band-Aid solutions like this. Similarly with copyright issues. Instead of trying to hack around the shitty laws and regulations we have in place for this stuff, let's just fix the problem at its source. In the case of patents, this mostly means to quit handing out bogus patents, and making it much easier for a patent to be invalidated in the first place. Especially with the sort of patents floating around nowadays, not to mention the litigiousness, a patent like this being invalidated should not be 'big news' - it should be a routine occurrence.
