I was thinking a fee for use for corporations which do less than a certain amount of business within the country or some other such metric or a licensing fee for the property outside of the counrty or something. Otherwise other countries wouldn't have a large insentive to start buying patents themselves, rather they will just let the richest government (ours) do it.

Jon, there's no reason to believe that countries couldn't collaborate on this. The US gov't would be the patent holder (on the international stage) of any patents it bought. If other countries didn't want to buy into the auction system they would still be bound by respect for the ownership of the patent (assuming they are bound by int'l patents today and aren't simply pirating everything) and, users of the patent in these countries would have to pay for licensing fees.
