A while ago, some folks in my country of origin started to make efforts towards a bill that (had it passed -- needless to say, it had no chance) might have provided some form of solution here. The essence of the bill was that, if one of these bullies sent an unfounded cease and desist letter that failed to explicitly cite its legal basis and was aimed at a company for whom full legal procedures would have had a significant financial impact, it would be assimilated as blackmail and treated accordingly. Blackmail is treated fairly seriously by the legal system, and makes quite the reputation. Do you think this could be a solution for cases like these? Alternatively, how about the possibility of allowing small companies to demonstrate that they cannot withstand the costs of a trial upfront, in which case the trial would be paid for by the state; if the trial is lost, the owners pay (fair enough...). Otherwise, the state can get its money back from the damages paid by the suing company.
