Easy solution would be to reject inventions that narrow down their claim in a way that crosses two layers in the OSI stack. That would instantly kill all claim

Easy solution would be to reject inventions that narrow down their claim in a way that crosses two layers in the OSI stack. That would instantly kill all claims of doing X…on a computer, or doing X…wirelessly.
Another way to put it is that integration should not be patentable. Everybody knows images can be serialized to a bitstream and that bitstreams can be sent wirelessly, each on their own is novel, but combining them no. Otherwise I could patent delivery of pepperoni pizza on a electric scooter, even if someone else patented pizzas and scooters already.
