I agree it's ridiculous and it needs to stop. Regarding why it happens more in the US, based on what I've read there are vast differences in the European/Asian economies versus North American economies specifically related to start-up companies, patents, intellectual property development, etc. North America as an economy generally has more risk-takers, more people creating things and patenting them...and I think that's why you see things like this.

Or maybe we just have more lawyers. I'm not an economist though, so don't take me too seriously.
