Commonly there would be a requirement to license the patent, rather than striking it down for the crime of being indispensable.

If they applied FRAND requirements to it, then I could see that working. So long as it's just a license for the patent holder to extort other companies I can't support it at all.

Give SawStop $10B and seize the patents under eminent domain.
