Patents should only be enforceable for:

- companies that have a history of utilizing/operating with the patents subject (e.g. no patent troll legal firms would be able to meet this requirements)

- only be enforceable against competitor companies that are larger than a certain size, e.g. more than 10 million ARR, so smaller companies can still be formed and get off the ground

- be different based off of the domain - e.g. it should be very hard to get a patent for software or related items
