Thanks. Dash, good stuff, especially the case regarding the Malaysian airline, now there's a movie for you!!
My only point, technicalities aside, is that POET, the company, holds the rights to the IP, one way or the other. Taylor could not walk out the door and use the IP at another company (ie, Intel) without having to license that right from POET. It just has to be that way, and I suspect that he has signed those rights away to the company, as you suggest. Of course, that's why tech companies pay intellectual property lawyers - to make sure that whatever is needed to ensure that the patents can't just walk out the door is done.
