You can't expect the courts to recognize that it is trivial, because their standards are generally much lower than we would think are sensible. In fact, in the United States, this has been a persistent tendency. I saw a Supreme Court decision from something like 1954, which had a long list of patents that were invalidated by the Supreme Court starting in the 1800's. And they were utterly ridiculous, like making a certain shape of doorknob out of rubber, when previously they'd been made out of wood. And this decision rebuked the patent system for going far, far away from the proper standards. And they just keep on doing it.
