Being careful in reforms is good, but I think the heightened pleading concern is not that big an issue here. The plaintiff is looking at their own patent and saying "this thing you did violated this part." If they don't know enough to say that, they shouldn't be in court -- either the patent is so vague they can't figure out which piece of it you violated, or how you did so, or they know, but don't want to say because uncertainty is a much stronger extortion position. Either way, getting rid of this is a good step, and an appropriate one to the subject matter.
