You could do a collectable card game based on the patent mess, but the idea of a collectable card game has already been patented. (Now owned by Hasbro now that they bought Wizards of the Cost.)

wouldn't that be perfect? a "collectable patent card game", as a way to criticise patents (by using the most ridiculous ones on the cards), which in itself violates a patent... hm, I like the idea... "combine the 'patent for display of blablah' with the 'method or device for remote information acquisition' and you can cross-license that against your enemie's 'global computer network patent' for 10 points."
