Can someone explain the significance of the court's inquiry?

I understand how it's interesting to see how one NPE structures it's relationships. But aside from the mail drop / physical location shenanigans, I can't tell if there's any legal significance to this information.

Maybe patents is a bad idea and should be removed.

Software patents, "better paperclips", and a lot of other "lawyers get rich, bureaucracies get bigger, little people get screwed patents? - YES.

(Some sort of IP protection or reward system is still needed for real inventions - where it takes serious money, expertise, time, etc. to achieve something major.)

But maybe a better moral would be that shell corporations (& lawyers playing shell games with them) should be outlawed.
