Intellectual Property
Many people think patents are ego-driven, something for inventors to brag
about. They're actually a profitable business strategy of solving problems and
creating valuable proprietary products all at once.
Rivette,
Kevin; David Kline “Rembrandts in the attic : Unlocking the hidden value of
patents”
Tidbit: Over 35 patents secure the design and manufacture of Gillette's
Mach-3 Razor.
(Is that why a box of replacement blades is $20 ?!)
Tidbit: "Polaroid" won a $1Billion lawsuit with Kodak over patented 'Instant Develop' technologies
At the time Kodak had 10 years of R&D and a $1.5 Billion Manufacturing
facility invested.
(and somebody 'missed the boat ' on digital camera patents! Or did they... )
Tidbit: Dell Computer has over 40 patents protecting their online-order and
production process
