IBM hires new VP of IP
IBM announced that it hired Kevin Rivette, a business consultant, to a new position -- Vice President of Intellectual Property. IBM has long had a lead in patents, and seemed to have made some money from licensing. We'll see how Rivette puts a new plan into action. Strategic use of patents, in places where they are liked (but mostly not liked), will be important if IBM is to accomplish its goals of expanding the industry as well as maintain their own position. He starts in June. Enjoy the rest of your break, Mr. Rivette!
