A class-action suit against the patent office. The main problem today is that the patent office grants too many trivial patents. It isn't surprising that it does so, it is motivated to do that: It gets paid per patent, and the faster a reviewer agrees to a patent, the quicker the work for that patent ends. The only way to fix that is to reverse or at least balance the incentives. Which means, a big cost for every trivial patent the patent office issues. It would be good if lawmakers passed legislature that did that. But we can't expect them to. A class-action lawsuit can do the same, though. Everyone that has ever been sued or forced to take a license for a trivial patent has been harmed by the patent office not doing its job properly. All those people have standing to sue. For such a massive amount of people, a class-action lawsuit is the way to go.
