Intellectual Ventures is a private company notable for being one of the top-five owners of U.S. patents, as of 2011.〔("Intellectual Ventures: Revealing Investors " ), Patently-O blog, May 18, 2011. Consulted on May 21, 2011.〕 Its business model has a focus on buying patents and aggregating them into a large patent portfolio and licensing these patents to third parties. Publicly, it states that a major goal is to assist small inventors against corporations. In practice, the vast majority of IV's revenue comes from buying patents,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57496641-38/inside-intellectual-ventures-the-most-hated-company-in-tech/ )〕 aggregating these patents into a single portfolio spanning many disparate technologies and tying these patents together for license to other companies under the threat of litigation, or filing lawsuits for infringement of patents, a controversial practice known as patent trolling. In 2009, Intellectual Ventures launched a prototyping and research laboratory called Intellectual Ventures Lab〔("Bellevue lab is an inventor's real dream" ) by Brier Dudley, The Seattle Times - 27 May 2009〕 which attracted media controversy when the book ''SuperFreakonomics'' described its ideas for reducing global climate change. ==Overview== In 2000, Intellectual Ventures was founded as a private partnership by Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung of Microsoft, later joined by co-founders Peter Detkin of Intel, and Gregory Gorder of Perkins Coie. The Intellectual Ventures Management Company is owned 40% Nathan Myhrvold, 20% Peter Detkin, 20% Gregory Gorder and 20% Edward Jung. They reportedly have raised over $5.5 billion from many large companies including Microsoft, Intel, Sony, Nokia, Apple, Google, Yahoo, American Express, Adobe, SAP, Nvidia, and eBay, plus investment firms such as Stanford, Hewlett Foundation, Mayo Clinic, and Charles River Ventures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Defendants Certificate of Interest )〕 In December 2013, Intellectual Ventures released a list of approximately 33,000 of the nearly 40,000 assets in their monetization program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Intellectual Ventures Find a Patent )〕〔 Issue 66.
