Thanks for that reply! My understanding of this issue is solely based on the Patent Scam movie. Its actually made by the person who got sued because he sold an app on Google Play store! (basically anyone selling on Play Store could be sued this way).
In addition to the burden of discovery that you have mentioned, the fact that US allows an idea to be patented, is the root cause of this pain. Once that is addressed, innovation can thrive.
