okay since these arent going to to away, lets try something else:<p>one stop gap solution would be making it more streamlined and standardized to make a license<p>these are antagonistic tolls because the conditions are onerous<p>you do something ambitious and lucrative, patent owner comes out of the woodwork and says “cease doing that”, “pay me this toll” or “cease doing that and pay me this toll” or “pay me this toll and continue doing that”<p>and you’re like “no, thats ridiculous, have fun in court” and then they go have fun in court and you freak out<p>its a state sanctioned monopoly, the state should standardize how the licensing is done. a model uniform patent license, almost like an insurance model that businesses pay into maybe even from existing fees, where patent holders file claims to that insurance pool
