Comment on Bill would force patent trolls to pay defendants' legal billsparent

TBH the entire court system would be better if money were a non-issue. The best way I can think of to solve that is to require both sides to be funded equally. i.e. if Side A wants better lawyers that cost more, then they should enough money towards a legal pool which is split equally between Side A and Side B. We will never have a just legal system until you eliminate this financial asymmetry.

That's actually a pretty good idea. I'm sure there are some implementation problems I haven't thought of yet, and ways for companies to get around it, but on the face of it a really good idea.

Doh! I think I'm becoming dsylexic in my old age. Missed a word entirely. Should have read "... then they should [contribute] enough money ..."
