Why innovate when you can sue? Either knock off someone else's stuff, or claim someone knocked off your stuff. Either way, the guy with the biggest pile of cash to throw at the lawyers wins.
That tends only to be true when the contention is narrow. Smaller plaintiffs regularly win when the issue is glaring. Less so with smaller defendants, but it still happens. The legal system really isn't
that unjust; the cases that get attention simply happen to be the controversial ones.
Patent's one of the better fields in which to litigate, actually, because the federal circuit judges (and their clerks) have science backgrounds, even if not always the most relevant ones.
