Another amazing example of how messed up the USA patent system is.

The question in my mind is how and when will this 'patent bubble' get unwound as it becomes increasingly clear that many of these assets are (or should be) worthless.

It's also another example of a regulator that has failed to do a sensible job on an important issue.
