One solution could be to give patent amnesty to small independent organizations - less than X million in revenue. That would at least have prevented LodSyS from going after small developers. The basis for this is recognition that a small entity would simply implode if they had to defend themselves in a court of law.


The problem is that the big companies would then infringe on the patent deliberately through a bunch of completely owned sub companies created solely for that purpose.
