    There should be a ceiling with patents, where if you make 10x back of what it cost your r&d (or whatever 5x of your yearly revenue), the patent should just be considered expired no matter how much time passed.

    It should never be an infinite source of money.

      Seems like a good idea, but would probably just result in Hollywood accounting so that they never actually make any profit on paper.
