Intellectual Ventures Report

In addition to our services and products delivering IP strategy and governance, we also develop in-depth research reports on emerging intellectual property issues.

The activities of Intellectual Ventures, the IP-focused company by former Microsoft executives Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung, have been the subject of much discussion, gossip and speculation for some time. Those in intellectual property circles have been aware that Intellectual Ventures have been engaged in various IP creation and acquisition activities including buying up large numbers of patents around the world. The fact that Intellectual Ventures have gone to considerable lengths to cloak their IP asset holdings in secrecy has led to many questioning the nature and extent of their IP holdings, and what their future plans might be.

We've worked with Avancept LLC to build a detailed investigation into Intellectual Ventures.  This report is now available directly through Avancept. Please visit Avancept.com for information on how to obtain a free report copy of the IV Report and how to order the full 630 page report.
