Isn't it just a bit depressing to realize that innovation in this country must be supported/enforced by a larger cadre of legal beagles to ensure fairness and opportunity?
Its a sign of the times, I guess in business, and I fear a continuing sign of politics inside the beltway as well as local states, counties and cities.
Just depressing.
But we have a strong beam of sunlight to head into, right?!!!!!
How could I forget the lawyers. Stone and the rest at Munger have been worth their weight in gold - I'm not sure how much credit Danforth deserves. As it turns out, the lawyers are also being well compensated. The two pillars of an IP-only company like Rambus are the technology (engineers) and the enforcement of IP (lawyers). Rambus' culture will always be about innovation and litigation.
