A comment on Ask HN: I was hit with a patent troll lawsuit, how do I deal with it?. Parent comment
I looked into just the fees to file a patent, and it's for middle class, upper class folks, institutions, and companies.
The poor guy tinkering around in his wood shed is not filing patents.
Maybe not throwing out all patents us a good idea? I don't know, but an American citizen (low income) all fees shouid be eliminated.
I would like to see a limit on patents anyone can file, or a graduated fee structure?
1 patent free. (low income. $300 everyone else) 2 patent $500 3 patent $500,000 4 patent $1,000,000,000
This would at least limit those guys patenting round corners?
