"One would hope they’re not using intellectual property solely to get rid of a competitor but not offer those services themselves."

— Douglas Roth, ipCapital Group senior manager

"One thing I think entrepreneurs and startups are going to need to increasingly take into account is the level of litigation turbulence or risk as they grow and become more successful. It’s as if you’re an airplane reaching a supersonic speed and the wings start rattling and bolts start falling off."

— Counse Broders, Current Analysis Inc. research director of network services
