I take no position on whether CA has a case or not. However, your proposal to address the problem of frivolous lawsuits doesn't go far enough.
If it is determined that a lawsuit was filed in order to stifle competition then not only should civil damages apply, but criminal extortion and conspiracy to commit extortion charges should be filed against those persons responsible for initiating the lawsuit. A few executives spending 20+ years in the slammer will bring a screeching halt to such crookedness.
