I'm surprised you don't see right through those self-deluded quotes from him. I'm sure he's smart (as are you), which just makes it so much easier to deceive yourself through contortions of logic.
The simple fact is that IV is a patent troll. They are the very definition of what that term means and that makes them a force for evil in the world. They are a parasite on the technology world. They exploit a broken system for profit.
Just like anyone doing evil they can lie to themselves about it and tell you the story they tell themselves about their motivations. Just ask any Wall Street jagoff if he thinks he's doing bad things and he'll explain that he's actually helping the world, by "providing liquidity" and "ensuring a fair market value" -- in reality he spends most of his day looking for exploits in our financial system to make himself rich.
