Patdek makes the ambitious push to annotate the world of patents. There's probably not a better way to express why this is important beyond leaning on the words of Marc Andreessen:

IPRs against VirnetX patents swept aside - again

PTAB denies seven IPR petitions filed by RPX against VirnetX.  The IPRs relate to four patents involved in a $368M jury verdict against Apple and in favor of VirnetX, plus a 0.98% royalty for ongoing iPad and iPhone sales. The PTAB determined that even though Apple didn't file the IPRs (because Apple was time-barred), RPX was a mere proxy for Apple, and therefore RPX was also time-barred.
