Ask HN: What to ask an Intellectual Ventures Officer

1 points by jayemdee3 ↗ HN
I'm at a talk with a few people, but most interesting is a CIO from Intellectual Ventures. Anyone have anything they would ask him given the chance?

When will they release reference implementations of all of the alleged intellectual property they have patented or bought patents to?

I didn't get a chance to ask that, sorry. I did ask how he addresses critics who say IV stifles small inventors by making it impossible to defend themselves against the large resources IV has at its disposal. His response? Utterly useless
