This reminds me of the US patent approval system. There are too many claims to properly vet them all, so just "click and submit" and only put effort into the ones that come back to complain. (Except the PTO is biased toward approval and not rejection, of course.)
Not exactly. The US PTO rejects a large proportion of patent claims. It can be quite expensive / time consuming to get a US patent as an individual inventor. But you can appeal the rejections, and large corporations and patent trolls have staff attorneys who do that all day long, so then tons of garbage patents get approved too.
