perhaps patents should only ever be in the name of the people who actually did the inventing, and the only way a company can have an interest is to pay said persons a fee for a right for use, AND must have an active interest in developing and persuing the patent in the form of a product to be able to sue others to prevent others using the intellectual property.<p>Wages may be sufficient payment but if they leave the company, the people who do the inventing are the ones who should continue to be rewarded in continued payment for succesful invention giving companies advantage in the form of patents.<p>this would kill off trolls and exploitation of inventive people.
