The company has been accused of hiding behind shell companies for earlier lawsuits,[39] an allegation consistent with NPR`s July 2011 findings. [40] The episode, which also aired as the This American Life episode “When Patents Attack”,[41] was devoted to software patents, with well-represented intellectual companies. It includes sources accusing intellectual enterprises of pursuing a strategy that promotes mutually assured destruction, including Chris Sacca, who cites Myhrvold`s argument that intellectual enterprises offer protection from prosecution in a “mafia-like shakedown.” [42] However, the company`s internal research, development and commercialization activities have weakened this image. Following a series of announcements of research projects by Intellectual Ventures, intellectual property columnist Jack Ellis wrote, “While licensing will remain a big part of what it does, the more deals like those signed this week IV, the harder it will be to call it a troll.” [ref. needed] Intellectual Ventures is a U.S. private equity firm focused on the development and licensing of intellectual property. Intellectual Ventures is one of the top five U.S. patent owners as of 2011. [1] [verification required] The business model focuses on purchasing patents and combining those patents into a broad patent portfolio and licensing to third parties. The company has been described as the largest and most notorious patent trolling company in the country,[2] the ultimate patent troll[3] and the most hated company in the tech industry.

Intellectual Ventures(IV) patents are designed to track and store information about a user`s purchases and expenses; methods and systems for providing tailored Internet content to a user based on user-specific information and browsing history; and methods of scanning paper images on a computer. IV unsuccessfully sued Capital One for infringement in the Eastern District of Virginia and the District of Maryland. Capital filed antitrust counterclaims for monopolization and attempted monopolization (Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 2) and illegal acquisition of assets (Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18) and argued that IV primarily acquires patents and asserts them in litigation. IV acquired about 3,500 patents in the commercial banking sector and tried to obtain high royalties from banks by threatening infringement lawsuits. Capital claimed that IV had concealed the identity of its patents and insisted that banks license the entire IV patent portfolio for financial services, knowing that many were invalid, unenforceable and not infringed.
The Virginia court dismissed the antitrust counterclaims because they did not indicate a claim that could be granted. The District Court for the District of Maryland has issued summary judgment against Capital in all antitrust complaints. The federal circuit upheld Maryland`s detention, citing collateral forfeiture. Virginia`s decision that Capital did not plausibly assert a relevant relevant market of the cartel and did not plausibly claim that IV exercised monopoly power over that market was conclusive in the Maryland trial. Deep Learning Autoscope is based on deep learning to detect the malaria parasite from blood films on glass microscope slides, one of our powerful inventions. Intellectual Ventures employees actively lobby and testify in court about U.S. patent policy. [43] Intellectual Ventures publicly states that one of the main objectives is to support small inventors against corporations. In practice, the vast majority of IV`s revenue comes from buying patents, consolidating those patents into a single portfolio that includes many different technologies, and linking those patents for licensing to other companies threatened with patent infringement lawsuits, a controversial practice known as “patent trolling.” [34] Intellectual Ventures has formed a number of independent companies to bring its discoveries to the mass market. Examples include Kymeta, a satellite technology company,[30] TerraPower, which aims to improve nuclear energy; [31] Evolv, which uses metamaterials for imaging,[32] and Echodyne, a metamaterial-based radar communications company.
