Nope nothing is being done. I feel the patent office has got a little better (just adding on a computer doesn't make it novel thanks to the Supreme Court), but they are self funded (funded by fees), so if they're not issuing patents they won't make as much money and Will face a budget crunch.
The patent office is not held financially liable for issuing bad patents either. So in the end they're just going to keep issuing bad ones until the rules are changed.
