One approach would be to have a technology-challenge period.
Everyone who wants to file a patent should first post a challenge. Other parties then have, say, 1 year to come up with a solution. If none is found, the patent is granted.
This would, of course, not solve all patent problems, but it could be a first step to solve the most obvious ones.
