This solution works, but it's far from ideal - the trade of equity for protection (or rather: access to their arsenal) could be unappealing to startups without much equity to hand-over in the first place - given a $1m lawsuit (which might cost $1m to defend against), or giving up $1m of equity for access to counter-suit weapons (with no guarantee of success - and also probably costing $1m to file anyway).
