interesting point, which raises the question of which structure works better at bringing inventions to market. Wasn't it Thomas Edison, credited with tons of patents and produced many actual groundbreaking products, who had an army of inventors working for him? Perhaps if the people with financial and management resources to deploy the organization behind the patents, are the ones who own the patents, this means a better chance of stuff coming to market? Xerox Parc, by contrast, seems to have been quite separate from Xerox itself, and so we have this situation where many of its amazing work was never brought to market properly by Xerox itself?
