These types of businesses shouldn't be taken past the concept stage. If the premise of your business is existing wholly on one other entity, it's a constant risk that'll never go away.
- gwbas1c 7y agoI don't know if I'd be that blunt: Depending on the situation, a patent plus a buyout can be very profitable. That's one of the reasons why patents are useful, they encourage innovations on top of other peoples' products because you can use them to force the other party to pay you something when they try to copy your invention and undercut you. Makes me wonder why Autofac had no patents. Besides, there's nothing wrong with making a quick buck as long as you know it's a temporary situation.
