Maybe banks and holdings/trolling companies shouldn't be allowed to own patents they played no direct part in developing or implementing in actual products.

It's my opinion that patents transferred from 1 owner to another should be un-enforceable against any company/entity that may have infringed said patents prior to the transfer.

Of course, it's also my belief that if Intel has been infringing on these patents since 2011, the patents should be invalidated at this point. It's hard to defend 8 years of ignorance and lack of defense of said patents.
