Just because a patent had been granted doesn't mean you can enforce it. But you might be able to pressure companies into paying anyway because a law suite would be more expensive even if they win.

The US (and other countries) law are missing IMHO two parts:

- really serve penalties for abusing the patent systems

- serve penalties for abusing the copyright systems
