Well, there isn't any US patent system for Americans who can't afford to spend ten to twenty thousand dollars for a patent application, So I guess it's only fair that there shouldn't be one for those who can.

If an idea is not worth $20k, why is it worth patenting?

FYI, that price juist went up due to the Supreme Court's recent KSR decision.
