Make patents non-transferrable.

  That would harm small inventors more than large corporations. A small inventor working out of her garage would be nearly incapable of capitalizing fully on a patent any sort of for a big-market consumer product. Being able to transfer patents allows the inventor to sell their rights and obtain some degree of compensation despite lacking production capacity. The idea is just the idea. It's execution that matters.

    Not necessarily. It would create a market for patent litigation as a service, where the patent still belongs to the inventor, but the litigations are managed by one or more third parties.
