Valuing Intellectual Property
Patents may be at the root of scientific and technological advances and national prosperity, but it’s been tough to actually put a price tag on their value. But two former Microsoft Corp. managers are trying to do just that. Edward Jung and Nathan Myhrvold started Intellectual Ventures, which they call an "invention capital" company, in Bellevue, WA, several years ago.

Leveling the Patent Playing Field by Peter Detkin
While large companies continue to thrive on pervasive technological advancements, small inventors have been limited by their inability to exploit their patents. Patent portfolio licensing created a pioneering way to increase the utility of patents; however, in practice this business model has typically favored powerful players in the technology industry. A new market has emerged based on innovative business models which favor small inventors. This market seeks to aggregate and distribute patents to companies that infringe on intellectual property or that want to draw on it as a source. By matching patent owners with patent users, this market may enable small inventors to have a greater stake in their technological efforts.

Myhrvold's New model: Funding Invention
Nathan Myhrvold spent 14 years founding and running Microsoft Research. He retired in 2000 and has since focused on a range of interests from wildlife photography to cooking. (He is writing a cookbook about modern styles of cooking including "sous vide," which involves cooking in vacuum-sealed bags at low temperatures.)

Nathan Myhrvold on Patent Mongers and Business
The basic framework of Nathan Myhrvold's story is well known. Born in Seattle in 1959, he went to college at age 14, taking a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1979 at the same time he earned master's in geophysics and space physics at UCLA. Then, came the master's in mathematical economics two years later before Ph.Ds in theoretical and mathematical physics, both at Princeton. He was 23 at that point when he headed to Cambridge University in the U.K. for post-doctoral work in cosmology and quantum theory with Stephen Hawking, who holds the mathematics chair that Sir Isaac Newton held 300 years ago.

Intellectual Innovator
Former physicist Nathan Myhrvold has been many things -- from Bill Gates' right-hand man to the world champion of barbecue. He tells Martin Griffiths how he is now hoping to change how the world invents.
