I don't think we'll want to patent anything, since that's something which keeps people out -- and we want to let people in! The only reason I could think of that we'd need a patent portfolio would be for defensive purposes.

That's different from how things worked for Edison. But similar to how they worked for Luther Burbank.

I'll be rooting for you to succeed in this endeavor. I used to visit IBM ARC when I was a kid, and to my mind the academic environment is not quite the same. But as you know we really have not seen corporate R and D recover from the peaks it attained over fifty years ago.
