I think you started off with a good idea: major players beginning to ignore litigation might improve the situation. But I think that would be more likely to come from judges throwing out cases than defendants not showing up for court, for reasons that eli stated. You also kinda lost me at the word "corrupt," because you took on a sensationalist tone. I think that "corrupt" and "in need of reform" are not the same problem. The patent system was designed with noble intentions. Its major fault (IMHO) is that it hasn't kept up with technology.
