I like the idea that NPE can only make a certain percentage of revenue on "trolling". What if, for example, only 25% of a company's revenue can be made off these "trolling" escapades? I think it would clean things up quite a bit.

So big company can infringe on small company's patents with tiny revenue because if it's cheaper than actually buying the license?

The rule should be for NPE only. In otherwords, as soon as you can prove that the idea is making you money (even if it's a small amount) the ceiling comes off. This doesn't mean "NPE" no longer exists. For example, a business who has a revenue stream but haven't incorporated their invention into their products yet, but want to claim the invention is worth alot. Why aren't you making money on it yourself if it's worth so much?
