mingwan0,
You are correct, the IP that is specific to the patent applications is assigned to the company. The core of the company however, is not the patents, they merely protect it. The core is the 'platform'.
As you have seen, a couple of the questions on the draft list pertain to the platform. What form does it take? Is it tengible...CDROMS, documentation, datasets?
The platform could be licensed out to others without impacting the assignation of the patents. In fact it is possible that if the form of the platform includes an eclectic array of resources that is combined into a functioning entity through the manipulation of a single knowledgeable individual, that it 'could' just walk away.
Let's not dwell on this subject, it is not my intention. I was trying to explain the basis for the question that's all. I also doubt that they will fail. I look forward to your comments.
