B2B Auction Highlights IP War

Bankrupt business-to-business software maker Commerce One, which shot to prominence during the tech boom, is selling patents at auction in a case that highlights a trend in technology where companies buy IP not to develop a business, but rather to extract royalties or legal settlements. The emergence of IP as an asset class unto itself is spurring players to raise funds to purchase patents for the express purpose of enforcing their newly acquired rights.
