Two quick thoughts: 1. Swap the burden of proof: couldn't much of these issues with software(!) patents be avoided just by forcing the "inventors" to check for prior arts themselves and prove (somehow) that they actually did do that? 2. Make them pay: What about a (huge) fine when the patent does not get approved eventually or when prior art was found during the approval process? |
