Ideally you'd have patent officers comparing if patents are too alike or too broad, but this is daunting because of the sheer # of patents. But if an AI program were written that compared the number of keywords two patents have in common, officers could analyze these for closer scrutiny. If the patents are too similiar, the new one could be rejected, or the patents owners could be forced to merge two or more patents into one, or one could be forced to sell to the other at the highest offer price... Conveersely, if a patent is nothing like any others, it might be a signal it is too broad. This is less time intensive to note. Sure, can bailout derivative gamblers for $750B but can't hire more patent officials.
