Very very dangerous game: IV

A disturbance in the force… IV.

Hmm…. what are they up to…

I think companies and startups coming to IBM Research looking to license a patent that valuable R&D was invested in is a bit different than a firm with patents looking for “buyers” (ahem… violators). HP’s comments are dead on: “But trolls are immune to countersuits, because they make nothing themselves.”

Start a business and sell a product based on your patent. That’s another business model…
