" Patent monetization is now next to impossible.  The big tech companies are effectively 'reverse patent trolls' stealing IP at will without any repurcussion."

To the point,  they have in roads directly to the USPTO....e.g. Google and Michelle Lee....where she over sees the 3 judge panels that sit on the PTAB.

Get a deal with Google? lol....There is no beating that....The OBAMA regime set it up....and signed off on Michelle....and Congress killed us with AIA head by the OBAMA regime and allowed through by a Republican Congress..

'reverse patent trolls'  is an understatement.
