Presumably what would happen in that case is that the parent company would sell the patent to the shell company, who would then just sell it back as soon as there was any threat that a victim was going to fight it in court.
It's still an improvement, but I'm sure that there are plenty of even cleverer ways to get around this than my off-the-cuff guess.
