I agree on that one..
There should be a time limit after discovering that a patent is infringed for contacting the infringing company / initiating lawsuits if said company refuses to license the patent.

The loophole of course, is that the patent holder could simply claim they knew nothing of the infringement, but that would be a pretty weak argument for most cases..
