All patents must die. After some time. Creators and investors are entitled to their money, their inventions must be protected somehow. That's all right. But not forever for god's sakes. Let's make it 5-15 years depending on the industry or something else. So much it's enough time to make fortune. But not so much that you can troll with that patent after half of the century. Even though the investors are paid and inventor is dead.
