"When I was at IBM I thought I'd seen every brilliant intellectual property strategy possible. When I landed at HP I found Bill Meade's breakthrough 'inventshop' capture process, and brought it to Carly Fiorina's attention. Inventshop became the foundation of HP's intellectual property strategy and subsequent rise in US patent ranking. Don't let your patent attorney's telling you 'This is impossible!' stop you from taking advantage of BasicIP's breakthrough process."
