There’s got to be a compromise between having an idea first and disclosing it, having your patent drafters make it as broad as possible such that even you barely recognize it, and the expectation to have a trillion dollars of capital to attempt making the idea viable The “trolls” or non practicing entities are just as much a piece of this system as everyone else. The patent inventor has to recoup as $15000 is a lot to them, the trolls have to recoup as their millions of dollars of patent purchases is a lot to them, and the companies that build use unfathomable amounts of capital to build at all and it is ridiculous to suggest the inventor or the NPE do that. Maybe the government should just buy patents and not leverage them. If there is no comprehensive patent regulatory change people can agree on.
