Ignorance Isn’t Bliss: Willful Blindness Could Land You in Hot Water

This may seem like a ridiculous hypothetical, but let’s run with it. Would you allow someone to lead you to an area near cliffs and then blindfold you?

We can’t tell you the innovation or patent numbers. You may have a hard time getting invested in a story when you don’t know the names of the characters, but we promise the story is still so cool that you’ll be hanging on all the way to the end.

Could Patent Landscape Analysis Improve VMWare’s Outlook?

No one would ever say that VMWare is struggling. Though purchased twice since its inception—first by EMC and then again by Dell when all of EMC was acquired—the company has always been considered a separate entity and has performed as such.
