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.
Not a fine, they should pay the legal costs of the business that successfully defended and invalidated it.
Even better. Or maybe both.
