True, but sometimes you commercialize something with some insights you bring from industry that never would have occurred to the original academic that made the piece in the first place. Basically what I and another guy did in 2012. We were stupid though, took the first real acquisition offer. That's the problem with being in your twenties you want money ASAP. "$1m today or $10m three years from now? Take the $1m, we'll figure out how to get the other millions later." I think it's another reason why the rich keep getting richer. Muuuuuch easier to turn down $1m when daddy is worth $50m.
