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.

They probably have patented some underlying technology they spent time researching to make the product viable.

Sigh. I know it’s not the product, I know HP bought the IP. i can’t see how there is any significant IP from this company in development of this product.
