Oh, I agree with you too!

I think there is definitely something very wrong about the current system including the legal procedure. First we should try to eliminate (or at least reduce if you are pessimistic like I am) nonsensical patents from being granted for starters. Then I strongly support reducing the period of exclusive rights especially in fast evolving field like software and telecommunication etc. And then again there should be a simplified and less expensive (both monetary wise and time wise) legal channel to at least preliminarily determine the validity of patent dispute, I can go on.
