This is a business cycle. Create and market product. Build marketshare. Lose portion of
marketshare due to incompetence. Tranfer Legal department to Marketing. Lose rest of market

This narrow focus on Intellectual Property stuff will pass when with a few prominent
bankruptcies. Intellectual Property has no value unless someone wants to buy it.
