Yep (ThAnKs ObAmA/GoOgLe). The IPR process of the AIA was implemented in a way that basically meant any patent worth asserting could be ~95% chance be invalidated for roughly $300k In USPTO & legal fees. Mayo/Alice SCt decisions threw a cloud of uncertainty over most patents.

My own contact with the US IP system has been on the receiving end of massive abuse by large companies frivolously asserting infringement. I know of many others with similar stories. Not sure what point you're trying to make here, really.
He's saying that it has become impossible to enforce patent rights, which has reduced the value of patents, and as such, the incentive for inventors to invent! Our government awards a temporary monopoly to incentivize invention that would not occur otherwise.

Except a patent is not a monopoly - does not confer control over production or distribution. QED “patent = monopoly” is bullshit. Patents have proven the purest form of creative destruction - the right the exclude others in exchange for disclosure. 220 years the US lead, no more.
