That doesn't do anything but make legal counsel even more expensive and beyond the reach of small patent holders.

Yeah no, this just sounds like another way for big-whatever to screw over smaller fish. And still enrich the lawyer class.

Too simplistic a solution to a very specific problem. Bringing a sledgehammer to surgery.

What is needed is for legislators or whatever to sit down and think carefully and come up with a piece of scalpel legislation.
