Quick Mention: Dominion Harbor Reinforces Its Connection to Microsoft



Trolls' harbour



Summary: Dominion Harbor has been passed yet more patents from Intellectual Ventures, a patent troll founded and still funded by Microsoft

THE patent troll called the Minions' Harbour (Dominion Harbor) did a whole podcast about me some months ago, basically defaming me from start to finish. Just about every single thing that said about me was patently false. Why the venom? Why this toxicity?



Well, Microsoft's troll Intellectual Ventures has just passed some more patents to the Minions' Harbour:

Dominion Harbor has bought a portfolio of almost 1,000 former American Express patents from Intellectual Ventures in the latest major deal between the two. The transaction follows a deal involving more than 1,200 former NEC assets which was announced last month and last year’s acquisition by Dominion of around 4,000 former Kodak patents.

IV has ramped up its sales over the last year and announced in April last year that it was stopping buying new assets for its third patent fund. As it has focused on slimming down its portfolio, Dominion has become its best customer buying more than 6,000 assets in these three large deals and a series of smaller transactions.


They already brag about it in their Twitter accounts.

Several days ago we wrote about how the Minions' Harbour, via some proxies, threatens and sues various companies. We know this because Unified Patents filed an IPR and quite likely invalidated a patent through PTAB.

We shall keep an eye on the Minions' Harbour because this isn't the first time Microsoft's troll passes it heaps of patents, which basically account for the lion's share of all its patents (overall). It is already widely known that Intellectual Ventures typically operates through a network of literally thousands of proxies. It helps hide its tracks.
