For Sophisticated Patent Readers
Companies share each other's patents through patent pools. Such patent groupings protect companies from infringing upon patent rights from inventors outside the patent pool.
Introduction To Patent
Pools:
Paper on patent pools. Statistics from Dr. Tim Pohlmann
Berlin Institute of Technology Chair of Innovation Economics
Best Patent Pool Article For Newbies:
Good article on patent pool organizations. There are too few patent pool organizations. Most technology pools focus on specific fields of technology: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2012/12/10/defensive-patent-pools-there-are-surprisingly-few-options-2/id=31233/

• Standard
setting organizations join together, vet proposals for a new or modified form of
electronic or other technology http://www.bakerbotts.com/file_upload/IPReport201208-ShouldYourCompanyInform.htm
Other Patent Firms:
• International Patent Evaluation Consortium:
Comprising a legal grouping of some 20 patent law firms. They can provide patent essentiality
evaluation services against major international technical standards. http://ipec-patent-evaluation.com
• Intellectual Ventures buys patents and is one of the largest, or largest patent holding companies. Size of patent holdings depends on many factors. http://www.intellectualventures.com Inventors often turn to Intellectual Ventures when dealing with unethical infringers. Intellectual Ventures (I.V.) might buy the infringed upon patent, then offer to license the technology. As intellectual property gets more advanced, the definition of patent pool is also widening. Some say I.V. could also be a patent pool. Companies hoping to avoid paying royalties on copied inventions have other views on I.V.
Pools Helping Or Hurting
Innovation: Living in a less than perfect world. Patent Pools can be a great way
