The Patent System's ability to reward individual inventors has been overwhelmed by the scale of industry, and the wiles of lawyers. A systems engineer would allow inventors to file ideas for consideration by other researchers, and pay them if the idea was picked up. The royalties would come from taxes on established innovations and sunset industries that are being phased out for the greater good. It might even be good business for the government to provide free facilities and materials to anyone trying to invent something with peer review access, rather than trying to pick winners through supporting a large class of professional presenters and grant signers.
