You effectively defined the patent system. All patent applications are published (not necessarily granted). Prior to publishing is review by a patent examiner.

You effectively defined the patent system. All patent applications are published (not necessarily granted). Prior to publishing is review by a patent examiner. Someone who usually has to be knowledgeable of the related subject matter. Many examiners have advanced degrees. Laws/policies are supposed to dictate which inventions the government is supposed to grant. It’s supposed to be financially rewarding to publish a patent, for both personal and national commerce economics. Which we assume sparks innovation in the private sector and better science/technologies/anything for all. It sounds like you want to flip the script. Some commercially funded capability to review the endless stream of patents - in which would need to be particularly formal and that can be regulated, and for the government to redefine the incentives. Btw Governments do offer grant opportunities for various innovative/research areas before they are proven.
