The thicket is easy to see. What's hard is getting out of it. <a href="http://myownpirateradio.com/2006/04/17/ip-squatting/ " rel="nofollow">One possible partial solution</a> is to force patent owners to implement within a reasonable time or yield their hold on an IP claim. Of course that has its drawbacks too; for instance, what if you're a great inventor but not a good implementor? On the whole, though, it feels one step closer to a fix.
