Yeah. Two potential options to fix sitting on unused patents are to increase annuity fees until they hurt, or to enact a compulsory licensing scheme.
I'm pretty ambivalent either way. I do think that compulsory licensing schemes are hard to manage but if done right would be extremely valuable. Compulsory licensing of patented pharmaceuticals saves lives.
