Does anyone know who's funding http://savetheinventor.com ?

This must be a group of patent trolls or maybe certain large companies. My money would be on patent trolls.

The tv commercials spin a tale of how small businesses are being crushed by big corporations stealing their genius ideas.

Anyone know who's funding this nonsense?

Well, on the bottom of the page it says "Innovation Alliance" which is "[...] a coalition of research and development-based technology companies representing innovators, patent owners, and stakeholders from a diverse range of industries that believe in the critical importance of maintaining a strong patent system that supports innovative enterprises of all sizes."

Here is a list of some(?) of their members: http://innovationalliance.net/about-us/

Qualcomm, Dolby, Cantor Fitzgerald, ... looks like they have a huge pile of patents and money.
