Agh, the patent system should have rules that state that if you're not active you can't sue, or something similar. This is really BS

But how about the archetypal inventor of a gadget suitable only for licensing, e.g. the intermittent windshield wiper guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kearns)?
