I consider myself a radical patent reformer, but I still can't agree to your assessment of relative harm. There is definitely room for improvement in defense, as well as repairs in cases where the suit was not merited. However it is also important not to cut too far in favor of patent defense, because small guys still need to be able to collect from big companies. In short, this is a system that needs some tweaks to punish abusers, but not a complete overhaul. IMO.
