It's interesting he points to acquisition of patent portfolios of the big 3 (Apple, Amazon, Google) but no real mention of their defensive necessity given the current patent climate (vs using them offensively to sue competitors)

Seriously. This is possibly the most important comment in the thread. End software patents, restrict the use of other patents, and then watch the rate of portfolio expansion plummet.
