I absolutely agree that it shouldn't be a single company leading it, but I stand by the view that an IPA protected patent pool is an interesting idea that it would be great to see play out. But yes, as the other commenters pointed out, whoever acquires it holds the portfolio, but the rights from the IPA remain with the inventor. Note that if that weren't the case and Twitter wanted to pivot into patent trolling, they could just set up Twitter Patent Assertion Trolls and transfer all patents there. Like I said, it would be surprisingly robust.
