    IP hoarding of products that may potentially be produced. Millions of dollars aren’t a pocket change, but if anyone’s going into this wearable AI bullshit, HP’d make a hole in their pockets. It’s a low stakes conservative gamble ‘just in case’.

      I have a hard time seeing much patentable. They can’t just patent ‘wearable pin’, it has to be much more specific.
