This could certainly be done. The biggest hurdle is money and people. There just aren’t that many patent attorneys qualified to do this kind of work, and most are not terribly idealistic types. In other words, you’d have to pay them at least semi-competitively. Just the filing fees alone for an IPR are ~$20k. I’d work on killing bad patents just for funsies, but I imagine there’s not many if any other attorneys out there that know how to do this kind of work and are unencumbered by an existing law firm. FWIW, most attorneys who get paid to do this stuff absolutely suck at it, I’ve seen it first hand. The few who are good at it are doing it at law firms that wouldn’t allow them to work on something like this.
