It's not the user fee model that's broken, it's the revenue basis. Maybe it would be more effective if they tripled the filing cost and if you successfully obtain the patent (it's rejected by the patent officers), you get half back.
That surely wouldn't benefit incumbent large organizations against small time inventors
it's been a while since the patenting system benefit small time inventors
Sure, why not make it more difficult, then?
