This is a compromise made to appease antitrust regulators in some situations, already. In a deal of this size, approval would likely require some patent portfolio compromises to get done. Case in point the current Qualcomm acquisition of NXP. In that case, to satisfy EU regulatory officials, Qualcomm has agreed to give up some NXP patents (that must be sold) and agreed to not take legal action on some others, except for defensive purposes.
