One of your responsibilities:

Identification of product and services potentially infringed by IV’s patents

It's even worse than that. You would specifically be one of the minions analyzing code that you can claim infringes IV patents.

Doing the devil's work indeed.

Taking advantage of a broken system to make a profit isn't demonic, it's capitalism. People and companies respond to incentives, so if we want these types of companies to cease to exist we must destroy the incentives that caused them to exist in the first place.

That would be true only if no one was harmed by your profiteering.
