Digging through your IP closet for gold…. So, I was surprised and excited when one of these verbal fishing expeditions during a lunch brought up a technology the company had patented years before and forgotten. Intellectual property is the principal asset of must every technology company. So: do you have hidden treasure in your vault?

I recently had lunch with a good friend with whom I have a shared experience. Nearly seven years later, this cellular carrier has still not incorporated IP telephony into their services. The recent purchase of Skype by Microsoft for $8.5 Their utter stupidity is a bit disheartening, but highly instructional. Sadly, I was right.

Shame about not getting it in legal writing that you owned the original IP. For a very small fee they can get your Delaware C corp registration, make sure that you have IP protection and ensure you didn’t make an early bumbling mistakes that you’ll pay for dearly in the next 7-10 years of hard work.

About a year ago I had lunch with a guy who I believe is an amazing entrepreneur. If this idea was so big then why would they risk not being first to market, not building defensible IP for the sake of a few hundred thousand dollars extra in lock-up money at a big company? I finally called bullshit.
