Only the amount is too high
There is no way Doyle could sue MS when MS started to use his patent since at that time the expected amount was too small to find good enough lawyer.
Apparently who ever came with the amount of 521M made wrong decision.
The main reason that US surpassed europe in the last 200 years are the pantent laws.
