But those Uniloc charged with infringing a [now] invalidated patent shows that those accused are actually not guilty of anything and so redress ought to be made to them.

If the patent is now invalidated, but was originally declared valid, whose fault is the original validation (so that they can make redress)?

• USPTO for not properly examining the patent in the first place (indemnifying its employee)?
• The original applicant for not having actually applied for a proper patent?
• The applicant's lawyer for obfuscatingconverting his proper invention into legalese [improperly] (in which case the inventor would have a claim against his lawyer for losing patent protection for his invention)?
• All the above?
