Re:My ideal patent reform (Score 1)

What happens in renewal years to licenses granted earlier? Do they get reset at the new rate or continue at the old one?

If they get reset at the new rate, the patent holder would have to essentially double the number of licensees every year in order to make a profit. If not, the patent holder would have to start out with a high license fee, try to snag some profitable licenses, then drop the rate in subsequent years for new licensees.

I think you're on the right track but please see my comment below for a simpler way of limiting licensing fees.
