I like that - but there are other options randomly thinks of something When you file your patent, you add blind optional licensing terms to it. For $x your company can use this. Or for $y you can license each device that uses it. For $z you can buy this (not invalidating any other registered uses). That way when developing something, you can work out whether it's cost efficient to use/avoid/buy - and remove all the risk of litigation and the overhead of lawyers. Patent system is broken - but on one hand don't think cancelling it is the answer, but resent the sink of cash that it sucks in by existing in its current form.
