:... the patent system is so expensive that it might as well not exist.”
If the invention is a product, I would advise anyone to spend the money on bringing the product to market with as much force as possible. Competitors are less likely to invest in chasing a product that has already saturated the market. That leaves only knock-offs and next generation competition. A patent, unless you’re Bell Labs, Microsoft, etc. means nothing anymore. International patent protection is even more of a joke!

Also if it makes it easier to challenge spurious patents(i.e. One click shopping) that would make me happy too.
