Intellectual Ventures is a global invention and investment company that creates, incubates, and commercializes impactful inventions. They focus on developing and licensing intellectual property, operating through funds like the Invention Investment Fund and Invention Development Fund. Their target audience includes large corporations and research institutions. The unique selling proposition is their "Invention Capitalism" model, which incentivizes research and development by making it a for-profit venture. This approach allows them to aggregate patents and license them to other companies, often under the threat of litigation, a practice that has led to controversy over "patent trolling" [1][2][3].
