Article Abstract:

The new program, IBM Ventures in Collaboration, which was unveiled in April, 2006, entitles a stage 1 company, IBM's cut-off point for a business with under $10 million in annual revenue, to access any or all of the company's more than 40,000 patents for a period of three years for just $25,000. The patent access is offered as a cross license, which means that IBM has a right to use, without fee, the related IP of the smaller companies that have licensed IBM's patents.
