Easier Solution
An easier solution to the problem is to get rid of destructive, insidious software patents completely. Software should never have become patentable.

Software patents == utter corruption of our market and will be a major cause of the US losing it's lead in innovation. While the US companies taking advantage of software patents may realize some short-term monetary gains, future innovation will come from places which realize the danger and absurdity of software patents.
