"This is obviously not feasible, given that these grants are being awarded for little more than an idea."
A patent is an idea, sometimes worth nothing and sometimes worth 10's of Billions.

Some would say that the fact that a patent is sometimes worth 10s of billions is a flaw in the current legal system. While true, I don't think YC is in the business of funding patent trolls.

A patent being worth billions is absolutely not a flaw of any legal system.
