Brian Love on Using PTO Fee Reform to Crush Trolls

Brian Love has an interesting short note on the use of patent renewal fees as a method of pushing back against the proliferation of trolls.  He points to the data showing that a large majority of fees are asserted in the final three years of the patent term, or about 17 years after the technology was first developed.  Greater barriers to maintaining a patent for the full 20-year term would reduce the number of trolls while keeping us compliant with the WTO treaty.
