The $1000 petition fee is the easy part.. getting USPTO to get around to your petition is another.. could tke 3-6 months before they get to you..and when the time comes, you need to have patent attorneys and solid prior art.... all of this still costs alot of money, so it's not an easy option.
if the USPTO sees there is a pending litigation over this issue, they may just hold the petition request until after the court case.
Invalidating patents directly with the USPTO is much more cost effective than going into court..... this is part of my strategy involved with Fight the Patent Foundation.
