On the contrary, such companies tend to have tons of patents. Apple for example has over 70,000 patents for the 2009-18 period alone. Exponential fees would quickly add up to a substantial amount of money on such a massive portfolio.

Hmm, maybe also have a them exponent by number of patents. So if you are small player you can handle having the core ones. If you are just throwing stuff at wall and see what sticks it gets really expensive. Could also force companies to focus on those patents that actually stand or are important for them...
Would not be very effective for companies like Amazon or Apple which have billions to play with. Rather a 5 years maximum duration would be more effective across the board instead of the ridiculous 20 years we have to live with.
