Big step in the right direction
There's only one key thing I'd add to it, which is forbidding suing end-users EVER unless they continued using the technology AFTER the suit had been adjudicated in the plaintiff's favor and end users given notice. Otherwise, the end users should have no liability. I mean, is everyone expected to do weeks worth of patent research before they buy or lease a piece of equipment? What planet are these trolls from?
This reminds me of an old case. Back in the cameras-all-used-film days, Kodak came out with a camera that used self-developing film. It turned out that infringed on Polaroid's patents -- Polaroid sued and won. Nobody tried to sue end users. In fact, Kodak offered them some cash back or a new camera. That's how it should be.
