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.

Even the bad publicity should cause others to "rethink" their
strategies............. This kind of activity is NOT calculated to win
friends!
