"Patents can be a danger against your company", then going ahead to pool this under another company/pool. Why not make this a non-profit organization, like Apache, etc? That way you ensure the patents pooled are not going to be maliciously used, even 10 years down the road an a few management changes over at IP Collective. Sounds like a better plan to me!
