We’re posting all the interviews from the sixth D: All Things Digital conference that took place in late May.
Here is a video of an interview Walt Mossberg did with Nathan Myhrvold, Founder and CEO, Intellectual Ventures.
In it, Mossberg wrangles with the former Microsoft CTO and research guru over his controversial company, which is assembling a large body of patents and inventions.
In this post, Myhrvold talks about legendary inventor Thomas Edison and the history of patents and inventions, “invention capitalism,” the patenting of software and its abuse by tech giants, multi-touch technologies and where innovation will come from next.
