I'm fairly certain that the decision in Alice Corp v CLS Bank International put the nail in the coffin of Intellectual Ventures' business model. A large percentage of the patents in their portfolio[0] are of the abstract idea implemented on a computer variety. Since patents have a shelf life most of what they purchased will likely expire returning 0% on investment. This doesn't mean that patent trolling as a business is dead, but it certainly looks like it is not scalable which is frankly wonderful news.
