Intellectual Ventures pile on the patents ..

[Doug Mentohl]

Intellectual Ventures .. is today announcing a partnership with
broadband company Telcordia Technologies, giving it access to more than
500 Telcordia patents ..

“In difficult economic times, long-term R&D programs are often the first
efforts cut, yet those are the worst times to stifle great minds and
their new ideas because that is when the world needs them the most,”

"Telcordia is taking a leadership role here by extending the use and
reach of its impressive patent portfolio, and Intellectual Ventures is
positioned to supply the long-term capital to allow for this future
growth and job creation.”

Bill Gates also puts money on IV, which is the world's largest patent troll.

Nice company, eh?
