The positive side in all of this is how Blockstream will not be able to harm the Bitcoin ecosystem without patents. Moreover, the bigger question becomes what this company is spending its time on, if they are not pursuing patents in the blockchain world. In the end, the news they “announced” roughly a week ago was nothing more than a promotion stunt. For now, the company is nothing more than vaporware as far as patents are concerned.
