How about a reform that tie patents with the R&D costs? placing the incentive where it's actually matter

i.e:

* for each patent filed, one should provide an 'expanse clause' of the R&D expanses

* if one file a patent then those expanses became taxable (the same way warehouse stock is?)

* when applying one can choose to hold the patent for a limited some of years (say 5) WITHOUT dependeing on ROI, OR hold the patent untill ROI exced 10 fold but no longer then 10 years. (number cand depend on general public priorities {medical , novelty , etc.} )

* the 'expanse clause' should be limited to what R&D that is strongly tied with the current patent, but can include failed R&D as long as they are strongly tied to the successed one.

* patent must reach a working implementation within the 1st year of filing, or they are revoked.

* maybe have two types of patents: - one like the above for those with working implementation, - the other for 'consept patents' that have a fix price for filing, and can be held for up to 12 months before one must file a 'regular patent' with a working implementation, and if faild to do so, it is revoked retroactivly so it can be used to sue.
