To extend on my point, I have no problem if the tenants of SHIELD are combined with real patent reform (see parent comment for my idea of real reform).

I just worry that people that don't follow patents closely, and particularly, the software patent field, will think that the patent system is fixed if only SHIELD were passed.

We'd lose another few years trying to convince legislators and voters that the underlying problem still exists.
