<p>Unfortunately, due to issues too complicated to go into, we have to post all the <strong>D6</strong> interviews in several 15-minute parts (I know, I know).</p>
<p>But&#8211;as many readers have requested&#8211;they will all be available in their entirety in this column.</em></p>

<p>Here is a video of an interview Walt Mossberg did with <a href="http://d6.allthingsd.com/20080528/myhrvold/">Nathan Myhrvold, founder and CEO of Intellectual Ventures</a>.</p>
<p>In it, Mossberg wrangles with the former Microsoft (MSFT) CTO and research guru over his controversial company, which is assembling a large body of patents and inventions.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122161127802345821.html">Wall Street Journal wrote a piece earlier this week about Myhrvold&#8217;s efforts</a>, discussing how he is &#8220;using that clout to press tech giants to sign some of the costliest patent-licensing deals ever negotiated.&#8221;</p>
<p>The video of the interview is in three parts.</p>
<p>In this third part, Myhrvold takes questions from the audience, including about whether Intellectual Ventures is making a patent land grab, putting resources behind inventions to make actual products, patent abuse and making research into a profit center.</p>

<p>The video of the interview is in three parts.</p>
<p>In this first part, Myhrvold talks about exactly what Intellectual Ventures is&#8211;essentially, supporting inventors <em>before</em> they invent&#8211;discusses the importance of patience in the inventing business, gives examples of inventions in arenas like energy and defines what a &#8220;patent troll&#8221; is (not him, he insists). </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week, BoomTown <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080505/all-things-dont-blink-or-youll-miss-it/">posted our speaker list for the sixth edition</a> of <a href="http://www.allthingsd.com/d"><strong>D: All Things Digital</strong></a>, which will take place in a few weeks&#8211;May 27 to 29, to be exact&#8211;in Carlsbad, Calif.</p>
<p>The annual gathering of tech and media luminaries was created and is run by my partner <a href="http://walt.allthingsd.com">Walt Mossberg</a> and me.</p>
<p><strong>D6</strong> tech and media speakers include: Microsoft Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer of Microsoft (MSFT); News Corp.&#8217;s (NWS) Rupert Murdoch; Jeff Bewkes of Time Warner (TWX); Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook; Michael Dell of Dell Computer (DELL); IAC&#8217;s (IACI) Barry Diller; Amazon&#8217;s (AMZN) Jeff Bezos; Howard Stringer of Sony (SNE); and TiVo&#8217;s (TIVO) Tom Rogers.</p>
<p>Also: Tom Glocer of Thomson Reuters (TRI); Melinda Gates of the Gates Foundation; FCC Chairman Kevin Martin; Lowell McAdam of Verizon Wireless (VZ); Activision&#8217;s (ATVI) Robert Kotick; and former Microsoft tech guru Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures.</p>
<p><img src='http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2008/05/decker.jpg' alt='decker' /></p>
<p>Just recently, we added Jerry Yang, CEO and co-founder of Yahoo (YHOO), and now he is being joined onstage at the conference by Yahoo President Sue Decker (pictured here in a lovely Wall Street Journal dot-drawing). </p>
<p>The pairing should make for a lively session, given all the heat around Yahoo of late, largely related to the scuttled attempt by Microsoft to buy the company.</p>
<p>What would you like to know about that and anything else about Yahoo?</p>
<p>As it so happens, you can ask!</p>
<p>While the conference is sold out, you can submit questions that you would like answered to Yang and Decker or any of the speakers via text or video. Walt and I will pick the best ones and let loose.</p>
<p><a href="http://allthingsd.com/d/ask-a-question/">Ask early and often here</a>!</p>
<p>In addition, the whole conference will be online at <strong>AllThingsD</strong> during the conference, via live blogs and reports of breaking news (and there <em>will</em> be breaking news, as there always is), along with video highlights.</p>
<p>And videos of all the interviews will be posted soon after it is over.</p>
