Someone told me the patent office issues patents now with little vetting and lets the courts figure it out.

To add to the chaos, disputes of infringement and the legitimacy of a
patent are in the Federal arena while the amount of damages, if any, are
decided by the state courts.

Not being a patent attorney myself (my field is regulatory compliance) I
have no first-hand experience with the USPTO, but abdication of
statutory responsibility seems to be this generation's hallmark of
Federal enforcement (including at my former Federal employer).

That would explain a lot if true.
