I did not realize that TerraPower is actually a spin-off from Nathan Myrholt’s company Intellectual Ventures, widely viewed as a patent troll. Not sure it’s relevant to anything, but interesting.



“Widely viewed” is unreasonably charitable. IV is, in fact, a patent troll.


Yes I was holding back. In fact one could go farther and say Nathan is… but again, trying to be charitable, you hit the nail on the head there.


I distinctly remember IV being big in the patent troll space, but I haven't seen anything recently. It looks like in the past ~8 years they have moved on or stopped for some reason.
