> limit the license fees the patent holder can get So your solution to some of the issues caused by government-granted monopolies is to impose price controls!? And don't think that an across-the-board royalty cap would last longer than a year or two. Price controls would only empower a new horde of bureaucrats and rules that would adjust royalty caps based on industry and company. In this future, a patent means something different to each entity and in each sector. Government wants to stimulate growth in a certain sector? Bump up the patent royalty cap. Big business with lots of lobbyists and jobs? Bump up their caps (or reduce the competition's), for the sake of the jobs, you know.
