Does that realistically make a difference? The only difference between selling it for $x or leasing it for $(x/3) (assuming GP's proposition to dramatically reduce the term), is whether they want exclusivity, whether they can back out of a lease early), and who shoulders the costs of defending it. At that point you've made little difference to how patents affect the industry, you've just increased the administration for the inventor.
