Would you imagine that you could you still buy/sell patents?
In which case - Google, rather than applying for patents itself, offers a patent purchase programme for employees. It will buy every patent filed for by it's employees as "Individual personally filing a patent" for 1000 USD.
- blagie 3y agoPlus a $10k transfer fee and a $100k patent conversion fee to change a personal patent to a C-corp patent. Transfer fees are not a bad idea in either case. If a company goes under, it often leaves a portfolio of patents which get auctioned off to the highest bidder. There should be some minimum bar there.
