RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:UghWelcome aboard! Glad to have you here :)
Another decently active Else forum is at "ceo.ca/baby" ... I follow both but am a more active contributor here.
My take on the patents is that they are only valuable if 1) they provide a moat while you execute on the plan or 2) you are trying to monetize them by selling, licensing, or litigating infringers.
If you can do both, great! My money is on them executing the plan.
