Bill Gates still helping known patent trolls obtain more patents

Not everything Intellectual Ventures does relates to patent trolling.

Intellectual Ventures also has an applied science laboratory that's even spun out a startup, Kymeta [1], in which Bill Gates invested.

Kymeta is a very cool company; they're developing revolutionary satellite transceivers using metamaterials [2].

I like how in the example the student "takes a picture of the textbook page" which is probably prohibited by copyright.
