Patents are meant to encourage entrepreneurship... not fund court rooms and judges' salaries.

Then a countdown to the expiration of the last patent will start.
And then we will enter an era of freedom of innovation. You will be free to take any design you like and improve on it without fear of being sued into oblivion if your design sees any kind of success.
