The shell company owns some right to assert the patent. It may even own the patent itself. This right is a revenue generating asset. The shell company should even have records of just how much revenue that asset generates.
Can anyone point me to an instance where an infringement defendant went after the assertion rights or patent ownership? My search-fu hasn't turned up anything in the validity or success of this tactic.

In the Apple/HTC ITC case, 5 of HTCoogle patents were thrown out over lack of standing (Google sort of gave them to HTC but retained some control over them).
