How does that actually become legally binding? If the patents are assigned to Twitter, and are later transferred to an entity that never agreed to the IPA, what actually happens? I honestly have no idea how it would work out.

And I fully agree about the IPA's goal, I'm protesting against people saying that it should be treated as a benevolent patent pool now. On the whole, I think the entire patent bullshit is moronic and should be annihilated at first opportunity, but that's a different story.

Check out section 4. If the assignee attempts to assert the patent improperly, the inventor has the right to give out licenses. The inventor's rights are permanent, not a function of who happens to own the patent.
