Funding Eureka!
內容大綱
Nathan Myhrvold, the cofounder of Intellectual Ventures, has been reviled as a patent troll - a renegade who buys up patents and uses them to hold up companies. Nothing could be further from the truth, Myhrvold argues. What he's really trying to do is create a capital market for generating and trading inventions that's akin to the venture capital market supporting start-ups and the private equity market that revitalizes inefficient companies. Without such a market, inventors who work at companies, universities, or on their own are starved of the cash and expertise they need to solve today's complex problems. A professional invention capital industry would remedy this problem, and the number of inventions would dramatically rise, transforming the world for the better.
