- CamperBob2 12y agoActually I like that idea. If patent holders were required to state an expected value for their claims and had to pay property taxes on that expected value every year, we'd see far fewer stupid patents held by unproductive trolls. (And fewer outlandish damage awards since the expected value could be cited in court.)
