Every time a court finds that the USPTO has issued an invalid patent, they should be given a sizable fine. The patent system won't work as long as the USPTO has an incentive to turn a blind eye to shit patents.
The patent holder should receive the large fine. Then the patent lawyers filing will have a duty of care to prevent frivolous patents for their clients, or risk malpractice suits for allowing shit patents.
