I dunno, I think it will just introduce more variability and stretch out the cases. East Rural texas was actually pretty good at litigating patents because they knew a lot about it since they did so many.

Better would be to reform the patent law, maybe create short term 5 year patents or something.

They did so many because of their notorious pro-patent holder stance made them the favorite place to file.
