I agree. Patent trolls are not the biggest problem at all. Sometimes I think, they are a good distraction from the real problem. Instead thinking about what to do about patent trolls, the governments should think, if they really can afford an out-of-hands patent system.
There where times, when getting a patent was really difficult, also for bigger companies. But today, every little nuisance can be patented (e.g. 1-click), just formulate it right and bring old things into new contexts to convince patent-officers (e.g. round edges). Of course patent-officers have their own advantages today, when more patents are granted ... what a mess!
