That is also a good idea, but I would prefer if patent trolls don't even try to go to court.

Sadly with many countries law system even if you are in the right they opponent still can drive you to ruine before they lose.

So the penalties (for trolling company and lawyer) must be to a point that they won't want to risk abusing the patent system.
