My suggestion is to double the fees every year so that only patents will be kept which really generate relevant economic returns.
My suggestion is 1000 USD in year 1.
After 10 years the fee is 1m USD per year.
After 20 years the fee is 1bn USD per year.
The current schedule of 23 years aligns nicely with this. If a Pharma patent is really generating billions of returns then maybe it would be worth for the company to pay 8 bn USD fees in year 23.
- EasyMark 3y agopatents should be like 10 years max on any account in my opinion. You shouldn't have to wait a generation for one to expire.
