BONUS TAKEAWAY TO SHARE WITH YOU

One lesson I will share with you, personally, from listening to Dr. DeWalt is this – I’ve built and sold
startups, I’ve spent many years at the whiteboard, working on patents – being trained by Wang Labs
to believe at all costs, protect the intellectual property. I remember Wang Labs patent attorney
literally saving our company by getting a $100M agreement in place with Microsoft over our
invention at Wang – Object Linking and Embedding (OLE, which became ActiveX). That kept the
lights on for us for 6 months at the darkest hours of Wang’s amazing history. But that’s all that it
did. What Dr. DeWalt said that stuck to me like glue, personally, is “Intellectual Property – IP
portfolio development is a game of inches. Execution is a game of miles.” Remember this – it’s
better to focus on how to grow, sell, manage, distribute and create profit, than to spend precious
cycles on developing an IP portfolio that will ultimately only become valuable to lawyers.
