IAM Magazine Glorifies the World's Largest Patent Troll, Microsoft's and Bill Gates' Patent Troll Intellectual Ventures

The latest cover of IAM says it all really...

IAM on Intellectual Ventures



Summary: Free advertising for the world's most notorious patent troll from a magazine that's partly funded by such trolls and wouldn't even call them trolls (it habitually uses euphemisms to launder their bad reputation)

IAM 'magazine', based on yesterday's announcement, makes Intellectual Ventures the front page story this time around, without mentioning the "T" word, as usual (they are always saying NPE).



"Can can IAM expect to be treated seriously by anyone (other than patent trolls who love this bias)?"They are still denying the existence of trolls and as we noted some days ago, a writer who is now moving away (based on the above announcement) is edited by an editor in chief who refuses to say "troll" (WiLAN isn't being called a troll in this new article of his). Well, trolls are paying the company which publishes the 'magazine', so their image is being embellished and positives (if any exist) are accentuated with cleverly-worded euphemistic sentences (like altering languages of domination/occupation with one of defense).

Can can IAM expect to be treated seriously by anyone (other than patent trolls who love this bias)?
