A New Version Of Moore's Law

Energy, not speed, is the new metric in technology.

Koomey's Law more important than Moore's Law? If the computing is now taking place on the cloud, does speed of processor matter any more?

Or is battery life of device connected (not speed) take priority?


Energy replaces speed for technology growth performance.

A Groupon Hurts Local Business Reputation

Groupon's Hidden Influence on Reputation  - Technology Review

a Groupon deal seems to have an adverse impact on reputation as measured by Yelp ratings

Not only does the business model stink, a group buying event hurts the reputation of a local business.

I think Groupon will be a phenomenon. In that it will set a record for not only generating $1b in revenue faster than any other company, and go bankrupt faster too.

First To File Versus First To Invent

What Effects Will the America Invents Act Have on U.S. Patent Law?

One such fundamental change is the shift to a "first-to-file" system, in which a patent is granted to the first person to apply, from a "first-to-invent" system, in which it is granted to the first person to conceive of an invention and reduce it to practice.

Intellectual Property Stock

With the surge of acquisitions in the intellectual property space, I have created a list of publicly traded companies with patents that might be classified as disruptive.

In my book, How To Find Big Stocks, I discuss how intellectual property is the new "raw material" for the U.S. economy and the Internet is the new manufacturing and distribution system.

Patents and ways to monetize them, represent a huge investable wave coming.

A Patent On Patent Trolling

I state this trend in my upcoming book, intellectual property is the new "raw material in the U.S. It is the key ingredient in the Digital Age.

Companies that can find ways to monetize these assets will be leaders going forward.


Paul Kedrosky spots a patent for extrcting value from a portfolio of assets.

Abstract

A system and methods for extracting value from a portfolio of assets, for example a patent portfolio, are described. By granting floating privileges described herein, a portfolio owner can extend an opportunity for obtaining an interest in selected assets from the portfolio to a client who lacks the resources to accumulate and maintain such a portfolio, in return for an annuity stream to the portfolio owner. The floating privilege can take many forms, depending on the needs of the client and the nature of the assets in the portfolio. The privilege is executed for a set of assets selected by the client and approved by the portfolio owner in accordance with a floating privilege agreement controlling the floating privilege.
