It's not the patent itself, but the threat of litigation from the big money corporations that threatens innovation from free thinkers.
So it would not concern the big corporates if a small concern tried to sue them, it would just justify the retainers paid to their patent laywers, and there would likely not be a result that would benefit the innovator. (Microsoft have been regularly sued and have grown stronger, the companies thet have beaten Microsoft in court have mostly disappeared )
Ironically the patent laws were set up to protect intellectual property of creative but poor people. but the proccess has been hijacked by big business. Private financial interests also control most goverments to boot.
