Didn't Computer Motion end up owning around a third of ISRG because of a patent infringement case? If I recall correctly (as happens occasionally) CM sued ISRG, the upshot was ISRG bought little tiny Computer Motion for... sorry, MERGED with them... with CM shareholders owning around a third of the combined company. So today's value for CM shareholders is now up around $40B because ISRG trampled on a handful of CM patents and got called on it.

I think the IP mattered in that situation as well.
