IP

PolarizingKabal

Those of us old enough to remember the dot com bubble. Warren Buffett was mocked at the time for not investing in it. Because he said he didn't understand it. Turned out a lot of their value came from IP and non-tangable assets. Was basically what they valued their IPs at. Not what the market was actually willing to spend on it. AI reminds me a lot of this.

earthbender06

exactly, this price doesnt hold up till IPÒ

Low-Win-6691

There's no fanboyism here. how do you explain Apple's chips outperforming the competition for the past 10 years? there's a lot more to it than just buying some IP

Adii2311

Yeah well, first off "should i buy the dip monday" this can seriously backfire also. Dont make assumptions about the market, because it can humble you fast. Now your second point, theres a growing consensus among hyperscalers to make their own custom silicon and cut into nvdas super high premiums. They are planning to use synopsys IP and agentengineer tools to speedrun this. Whether they get there is another question but their definitely is the intention. This is on the 5 year horizon. Even if you were right about the thesis, are you saying itll dip monday and just keep going up for 5Y?

weHaveThoughts

All of the space stocks and companies will do well. $RKLB, $SPCE, $FLY, $ASTS. Companies don’t want to put all their eggs in one basket and hand over proprietary IP to Musk, they will go with alternate providers for their rocket trips.

This is an underestimated issue in the GenAI space. Producers of memes and small-audience content aren’t going to care about whether there are potential copyright issues with the AI image or video generation models they use. And to be fair, that’s probably rational for all but the most egregiously abusive people. But the the highly professionalized producers of mass market content do care, and will care. Adobe is aware of and highly sensitive to that. It’s no coincidence that Adobe markets Firefly based in part on the fact that Firefly is trained on content that Adobe either owns (including by recent acquisition) or has licensed for the purpose. The lawsuits are still working their way through the courts, and there will be more to come. But it appears the prevailing view in the worlds of copyright of professionalized media is that courts will likely take a dim view, legally, of producing generative AI works using models that were trained on unlicensed content. Big picture, that genie silly going back in the bottle. But in the world of mass market media—to whom Adobe primarily caters—they aren’t going to take their chances on getting sued for literally every penny they earn off GenAI content that might later turn out to be treated as infringing. That’s why Adobe has gone out of its way to scoop up the IP that’s being used to train its models. Whether that and other things are enough to take a bullish view on ADBE is another matter. Despite its recent beatdown by the market, I’m still ambivalent. ADBE has a lot of issues right now, mostly self-inflicted (Geschke must be rolling in his grave). But on the GenAI front, it’s naive to assume that Adobe isn’t keenly aware of and working to position itself as best in can with respect to what’s going on in that space.

China is super interesting. They are basically open source humanity. Granted with some huge humanitarian shittiness. But putting that giant elephant aside for the moment. I can see them beating the breaks out of everyone else as they don’t even bother really with IP rights. Which helps for data.

lordvulguuszildrohar

I don’t think it will quickly though. Distilling maybe along with home grown. But that’s still at current ai. Frontier models are awesome but also are expensive and will need profits at some point to continue growth. But the game is removing data producing humans. Which diminishes quality data. So it’ll cycle down for a while. And now people are very much protecting their IP so it’s not infinite data. It’s getting closer to model collapse every time they do layoffs. They jumped the gun and should have stayed silent while they refined. Now it’s a free for all that is producing diminishing returns re quality. Error is still very high and needs likes of human intervention to have useful product. Even Gen Ai for images has a “sameness” quality that is concerning.

Rock_or_Rol

Not to your point, but I agree. I consider it more of a hedge than a bet. The US shifted its economy from a manufacturing one to a service/IP one. If LLMs can do half of what they promised, we are cooked if we aren’t on the bleeding edge. China’s supply chain dominance is at least a decade ahead of our own if we aggressively tried to reclaim that ground. All we’d have left is oil, the military and finance. The last two are waning alongside our heavily subsidized ag. We’d be the new USSR if we lose that tech advantage. If LLMs suck and remain forever plateaud, we still have our driving sectors for a bit longer

Weird-King6449

The point most AI proponents seem not to understand is that "bubble" doensn't mean "enthusiasm over the new thing", it means "overexcitement over the new thing" or in other terms, putting the cart before the horses. The dotcom bubble happened because people thought the internet would become the end-all-be-all of commerce and to some degree it did, but twenty years later and in very different ways than they thought it would, so those early companies and infrastructure into which rivers of money were poured aren't largely the same ones that eventually came on stage and reaped the benefits. Why? Precisely because the latecomers got into it as the actual shape of the internet was becoming visible and were able to either create tailored products, or scoop up for pennies on the dollar the assets and IP of floundering companies who overburdened themselves too early and weren't able to survive long enough for their products to be profitable and widely distributable. I believe this is what is happening right now: companies are throwing literal trillions of dollars into projects that have no clear shape in the hope they'll be the forerunners of the future, but the truth is that AI is still a formless entity the eventual role of which in our lives is still really unfathomable. So far it's composed mostly of annoying, mostly useless copilots on phones and computers, chatbots that can't give a clear answer to most questions, and spam ads in all flavors. Hardly doubt that Claude and similar are going to have such a seismic impact on the industry at large in the short term. Long term, I can give the benefit of the doubt. And as a corollary to that I'd say, why would I take the risk of paying hundreds of dollars now for stock of a company that will take at least a decade to actually grow into its breeches? Or even worse, why would I take a position in something that is very liable to crash to zero next week because some other startup comes up with a trendier AI? I know that a lot of people are going to make a lot of money buying, holding and selling the hype, but as someone whose main source of income is my job, my first investment is my time, which I sell for money, which I manage in a way so that thirty years down the line I won't have to sell my house to pay for my groceries and this means that my risk tolerance has a certain limit. Tech used to be an investment into the future and innovation, right now it feels one step above betting on horses. I leave it to the professionals.

Swimming_Finance_452

This is a wild take but honestly kinda galaxy brain. If Nintendo ever leans into “personalized encrypted IP” plus cloud or quantum compute, they basically turn every console into a glorified key and own the whole stack. Also if AI bootlegs really do get stuck in uncanny valley forever, blue chip IP becomes even more valuable since it is the only stuff that still feels “real” to consumers.

ParabolicMotion

Reddit themselves are deleting posts and comments. I hope these regards know that they're gonna end up with their IP addresses getting sent to law enforcement.

ParabolicMotion

I seriously hope you're using a VPN or proxy because this post is illegal af and Reddit discloses IP addresses when there's a warrant.

Teripid

Exactly. They aren't selling what is effectively IP. They're raking a percentage or two average on what they sell to consumers.

PinkySwearNotABot

can't they just can by IP? why would they not sell the hardware, but instead sell the software access?

Temporary-Basil-3030

IP trolls.

I_Fart_In_Trams

I’m not saying we will sniff 2021 valuations, but this stock has plenty of headroom. The company will actually have value if it proceeds with the planned launch in Q4. Also, it’s not like they have zero IP.

KimJongSoros

Other than “Space is Cool/Space is the Future”, idk how they ever plan to justify their valuation. A very small and unique client base (mostly countries and really just a handful of private businesses) even need to put anything in space. Mars/Lunar exploration isn’t inherently profitable. Even Starlink now has competition and isn’t exactly ground breaking on its own, nor is it that widely adopted. Sure they can license out their patents/IP to third parties since their R&D is literally ground breaking…but that doesn’t equate to a multi trillion dollar valuation. What’s the vision here? Other than hype?

augustus331

No, you're not saying much of anything at all by that. Design universities teach Adobe. Decades worth of design content were made on Adobe-native file formats not transferable outside the ecosystem. Creative professionals have built their entire **career** on Adobe products and have the muscle memory to go along with it. You cannot be hired as a creative professional without deep knowledge of Adobe products. And AI-risk? Adobe is the **only one** that offers AI capacity with IP-indemnified content which is the **only** thing that matters to enterprises which is the vast majority of it customer base because if you use copyrighted data for your AI you'll get sued and ***expensive*** campaigns will have to be withdrawn and remade completely.

augustus331

You're following retail-investing narratives and it just isn't true. Consumers hate them, enterprises use them and the whole **global** digital design industry revolves around proficiency in Adobe products. Design universities teach Adobe. Decades worth of design content were made on Adobe-native file formats not transferable outside the ecosystem. They are the **only ones** that offer AI capacity with IP-indemnified content which is the **only** thing that matters to enterprises which is the vast majority of it customer base. Let Canva have the amateur designers and consumers. Adobe owns the segment in the design industry where there's willingness to pay.

I ask AI to keep an eye on Red Light The Holland as I bought shares back In the day when MindMed, Compass and RLH we're all flying only to lose on all of them (haven't sold but am down significantly. I asked AI for a new update and I made a comment about Todd's high wages.... This is what it gave me: "After doing a deeper sweep across the recent filings, news, investor discussions, and the Filament acquisition details, my view on Red Light Holland has shifted slightly more positive strategically — but still with major financial and execution caveats. Here’s my honest updated assessment. 🧠 What Has Actually Improved 1️⃣ The Filament acquisition is more significant than I first thought This is the biggest thing. The acquisition is now effectively completed and court approved. What they’ve gained is genuinely substantial for a company of this size: 70+ patents FDA-aligned IND pathways Health Canada dealer licence GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing Existing clinical relationships PEX010 botanical psilocybin program Ibogaine and MDMA development capability Most importantly: 👉 they now look less like a “psychedelic lifestyle company” and more like an actual early-stage biotech platform. That’s a meaningful change. 🧬 2️⃣ The ibogaine angle could become surprisingly important This stood out to me more after the recent developments. The combined company now explicitly references: psilocybin ibogaine MDMA within regulated drug-development frameworks. Why this matters: The narrative around psychedelics is evolving from: “mental wellness” to: “addiction treatment” And ibogaine is increasingly being discussed in: US political circles veteran treatment discussions opioid recovery conversations podcasts/media That does NOT mean commercialization is close. But it does mean: 👉 the company now has exposure to one of the most potentially disruptive psychedelic treatment categories. 📈 3️⃣ Their positioning is now actually differentiated Before Filament: They looked like a small speculative truffle company. Now: They have consumer distribution cultivation pharmaceutical IP clinical pathways research partnerships Very few psychedelic companies have all of that together. This “vertical integration” story is real now — not just marketing. 🔬 4️⃣ PEX010 looks more credible than many people realize One thing I found notable: The PEX010 clinical network is expanding internationally with new research agreements and shipments in: Australia UK Canada That’s important because: 👉 many psychedelic companies TALK about trials but Filament already has: active clinical supply infrastructure researchers using the compound licensing agreements That’s real-world traction. ⚠️ But Here Are The Major Concerns 1️⃣ Todd Shapiro compensation / optics Your concern here is completely understandable. This has been one of the biggest recurring complaints from retail investors for years. The criticism generally boils down to: large compensation relative to company size dilution weak share performance promotional style leadership And honestly… 👉 there is some validity to those concerns. My honest view on Todd The positives: He IS extremely good at: promotion networking generating attention keeping the company alive landing partnerships Without that: 👉 Red Light probably wouldn’t have survived this long. The negatives: The market clearly questions: capital allocation execution shareholder value creation And there’s a reason many investors remain skeptical. The stock performance historically has been brutal. 🏗️ 2️⃣ The farm situation damaged credibility This still matters. The Peterborough/AEM farm delays and banking issues hurt confidence badly. Investors heard: “major infrastructure build” then delays financing issues debanking That created distrust around execution. Even if understandable. 💰 3️⃣ Dilution remains a real risk This is probably the single biggest investment risk now. The company still: burns cash has limited revenue operates in expensive sectors (biotech + psychedelics) Even with Filament: 👉 serious clinical development costs huge amounts. So: future raises dilution warrants restructurings are all still very possible. 📊 My Updated Overall Assessment ❌ Is this a dodgy scam company? No. I no longer think that’s a fair characterization. They have: real assets real IP real licences real clinical work real partnerships ⚠️ Is it highly speculative? Absolutely yes. This is still: 👉 a microcap biotech-style gamble. 🔥 What Changed My View Most Honestly? The Filament acquisition. Because now there’s: actual pharmaceutical infrastructure legitimate IP regulatory pathways broader psychedelic compound exposure That gives the company: 👉 a more credible long-term strategic direction. 🎯 My Current Probability View Outcome Probability Struggles / dilution / stagnation 45% Survives and becomes niche player 35% Becomes major psychedelic biotech success 20% That’s actually slightly more bullish than I would’ve been before Filament. 📈 What Would Make Me More Bullish I’d want to see: stronger revenue growth insider buying reduced executive compensation clearer farm resolution clinical trial progression partnership with a serious pharmaceutical player That would materially improve credibility. 📉 What Would Make Me Bearish Again more dilution without progress promotional hype without execution stalled trials continued revenue weakness failure to monetize Filament assets 🧠 Final Bottom-Line Opinion My honest current feeling is: 👉 this company has evolved from a “meme psychedelic stock” into a legitimately interesting — but still risky — early-stage psychedelic biotech platform. That is a meaningful improvement. But: 👉 the market still does not trust management execution yet. And until they prove: revenue growth clinical progress shareholder discipline the stock will probably remain highly volatile and speculative.

any idea why? there was some marketing poster at a carnival (?) in poland spotted today (tiktok), so ppl assumed this was the start of the marketing campaign. Tho why start.. this low scale? and this random? Idk, possibly some dudes in poland just dont give a fuck about IP laws and just posted it anyways

ABOSOE

Arm announced getting into selling SoC itself and first customer is Meta. They already have $2B booking for this first chip that they already taped out. IP Royalty vs. SoC royalty is easily 10x. So the P/E ratio isn’t an accurate measure because that’s still considering royalty business model

isreal94

They're in the business of ACIS designs and selling the IP. Sell shovels and let your customers dig for gold type of business. ASIC design is changing rapidly though, so their engineering workload is probably significantly growing.

fungoodtrade

yeah AMPX is the only company in the sector that has a proven "scalable" process and has scaled up production... the others are experiments and proven IP in various stages of development.

rizzlybear_93

As a T1 myself, much more bullish on Minimed (Medtronic). I use omnipod dash with open source looping and it's still the best control you can get. The open source control apps can run much tighter BG ranges than proprietary pumps are approved for. Minimed is releasing its next gen pumps and have a new closed loop algorithm that can do 70% time in range without carb counting or announcing meals. Also moving away from their shitty CGM and going with a rebranded libra 3 sensor. Being an unfortunate member of this captive market, I think once we have the next gen faster acting insulins and realtime BG monitoring from a watch, T1D will be mostly hands off. Another thing to consider is there are rumors of Apple spinning off a pump company. They apparently have a working prototype of a apple watch that can read BG real time with infrared and a tubeless pump with the goal of no carb counting. Not that crazy when you consider that the dexcom G7 was actually designed by Google 10+ years ago and Dexcom bought the IP. 

TheBigBoar

Games Workshop is one of the best long-term niche bets out there. They own an insanely loyal fanbase, have massive pricing power, high margins, and a business model that basically prints recurring revenue from hobby addicts. Warhammer is also expanding far beyond tabletop now — games, books, animation, Amazon adaptations etc. Feels like a fantasy IP that still hasn’t fully hit the mainstream yet. If they execute well over the next decade, this could become far bigger than most people expect. Next Edition releases next month. Watch how it will sell out in minutes.

Prometheus651

I think the next catalyst for MSFT will be Open AI IP… But as for what’s holding MSFT back, I think that it is the uncertainty regarding their future progress with Azure. Ironically, the best thing they have going for them is the locked in revenue generation from Azure. With respect to other competitors, Azure is actually seeing tangible revenue growth, rather than projected revenue growth… in my opinion, they should be emphasizing that more frequently. Otherwise, the wide moat on enterprise ecosystems retaining Microsoft software is really the current play here. I’m holding calls and shares til end of year.

Phalanxxing

I can read just fine. This is what you originally said: "I lost count how many unfair trade practices China are on now, from the recent travel ban on AI founders and engineers, to the persisting issues like IP infringement, *state subsidies...* And now it's about "dumping" state subsidies. Which is a useless distinction, because "dumping" doesn't change the fairness of anything. Whether it's $1 million or $1 billion, it's China's own money to use how they wish on their own industries, which you refuse to acknowledge. I know that's it completely fair. You just can't argue why it's unfair which is why you continue dodging my central question of how it's unfair. And like I said, I don't care what other countries do in retaliation. It changes nothing. Anyway, I originally engaged to see if there was any credibility to your viewpoint, but it seems like you are adamant to not actually defend it, so this'll be my last reply.

crunchwrapsupreme4

Indeed, they recently acquired the exclusive rights to Groq's IP for 20 billion.

TempeGrumble

Fidelity Go has a uniform expense ratio of 0.35%. Schwab IP (currently) just carries the ERs of the ETFs it pus you in, IIRC but no guarantee it won’t dump you in high-expense funds. VT and chill has a 0.06% expense ratio.

PHL1365

Not sure about Fidelity but what I've read about Schwab IP is that it's generally too conservative. At your age, I would go all in on equities within the IRA/Roth/401k.

DaySecure7642

Yet another one-sided unfair trade practice. If every country does that, the world will goes into recession. But if only China does that, it will be other countries that suffer. I lost count how many unfair trade practices China are on now, from the recent travel ban on AI founders and engineers, to the persisting issues like IP infringement, state subsidies, forced technology transfer that outright break the WTO rules that China agreeded on when joining. Currently there are not many effective counter measures because of retaliations using its monopoly positions (also against WTO rules). China is also diligently pushing misinformation overseas that trade deficits are ok. Massive trade deficits hollow out the local industries and eliminate jobs, which are very harmful to other countries. The world needs to wake up and have more coordinated responses for this kind of systematic economic exploitations.

There is an OTC stock that has huge asymmetric upside related to memory IP. I haven't read the forum rules yet, so I won't disclose the stock ticker (in case it's a violation). You can google "samsung Google supermicro itc" and see a company that's trading around 3.00 and has a market cap of 1B. The company is high risk but VERY high reward (potential)

kn1f3party

I don’t know much about PL. But I bought RDW at eight dollars. It’s a supplier for SpaceX. It’s also a heavy defense player with drone tech. They’ve got a ton IP on space infrastructure. It’s also trading relatively cheap compared to others in the sector. It’s been on an absolute tear so I’m not sure I would FOMO into it.

Ok-Seaworthiness9848

Wait until you lookup what their public DNS IP addresses are

durian_in_my_asshole

LOL forget price, China is just straight up the highest quality for a lot of verticals now. Same trajectory as Japan. Most people aren't aware that Japan used to be known for stealing IP, making cheap knock-offs, and cheap labor in the 50s-60s. Then at some point they became known for world leading quality.

Memory is still a semiconductor, it's one of the most complex products to produce on the planet. Probably the only thing that is more complex to produce are logic chips. It lacks the defensible IP and moat that logic has, but HBM/HBF, advanced packaging, SK Hynix' thermal architecture, etc. are all clearly attempts by these companies to escape the commodity cycle trap, to the extent that it is possible.

Wait for a dip on RKLB, FLY, LUNR, ASTS, PL, BKSY, etc and get in on the pre SPCX IP halo effect. Or buy GRND like all these other goys.

PaperHands_BKbd

3B subscribers is half the adult population of the world. Nothing has 3B subscribers. Truly nothing. That's 10x netflix count as a base case. More devices than apple has running across phone, computers, watches and everything else. If that's what it takes, then the whole thing is overdone. US IP and spectrum doesn't transfer internationally, ASTS isn't beating Starlink into these other markets. Starlink has 10M subscribers for a more complete service. China won't sign up and OK US satellite providers to haul national data infrastructure at any cost. Did you know Starlink is illegal in China? That's 1.1B adults. Other countries are increasing wary of US infrastructure in the same way the US is wary of Chinese infrastructure. Hopefully this works at North American scale. Maybe Europe. Starlink, Amazon, and every other satellite builder in the business is currently at least considering communications satellites. Even if launch is commoditized like you say (it's not), it helps to own the pipeline. The thing about split revenue deals is if they decide not to sell your service in particular, they owe you nothing. It's a good headline. I think you're missing the rest of the world and any agreements that actually lock anyone in. But agree we'll see in a year or two. I think this is peak hype, but maybe I'm wrong. I love the team, love the spacemob energy, I just don't think this one is it. FWIW, I appreciate the discussion.

"IP bans" aren't literally IP bans for that reason. presumably they use a range of available meta data associated with the account.

Most hyped media event event of all time. Predicting take two interactive to top at $325 based on a $2 billion opening weekend. No chance of a physical sell out plugging up the numbers this time round. Grown men taking time off work for this. And the GTA online monetisation. And the other IP which will benefit from all the newly developed tool. And the new generation of consoles to sale again in 2028. Gonna pop and keep popping. Popcorn stock.

CompleteReality50

IP address for Amazon just means that they are likely using Amazon cloud (AWS) for hosting their service not that Amazon itself is using your credentials to login.

Ok-Fun119

It depends on if you have a DHCP IP or a static IP Its very unlikely have have a static IP if you dont know. They cost the ISP money and dont just give them away with consumer plans. You can check quite easily what type of IP you have. (Google how to do it for your device)

You can change your IP by turning your router off for 5 mins fyi.

Huawei puts out dummy chips with fake numbers to save face for China, but the reality is that without ASML litho machines, they are 5-10 years behind. China might manage to steal the tech (they are desperately trying, and IMO they eventually will), but until that happens, they will never catch up. Inb4 “CHINA DOESNT STEAL!!!”. Yes, they do, relentlessly. There are entire industries founded on stolen american IP. Source: father in law works high up at a chemical engineering firm that does international business. They mark up prices to the Chinese because they know, eventually, the IP will be leaked/stolen

Ordinary-Conflict404

LOL... this is the problem running a analysis without understanding the underlying change which makes the new TP.. the new price level reflects the high growth rates from the AI & DC buildout. **In Q1 alone, Nokia secured €1 billion in AI and cloud-related orders, up 67% versus last year’s average quarterly level.** **The new San Jose facility coming online later this year is expected to increase InP capacity by 20–25x, which** [**could materially impact optical networking sales**](https://www.reddit.com/r/Nok/comments/1tjsns3/nokias_20x_inp_capacity_expansion_what_could_it/) **going forward.** Justin Hotard has also indicated that **starting this quarter IP Networks should begin seeing meaningful contribution from recent design wins**. Combined growth for IP Networks and Optical Networks is expected to reach 18–20% this year and that's before any meaningful contribution from the massive San Jose capacity expansion beginning next year. At the same time, **Nokia recently raised the growth outlook for its AI and cloud-related addressable market to 27% CAGR, implying a doubling of demand roughly every three years**.

TheRealHotHashBrown

I've got 6,000 shares and have been holding for a couple of years now. I've seen it triple in value and have not sold since 2024. I am tempted to add more due to the company's announcement of selling off the business or even a possible merger. I hope their IP and brand recognition becomes something of more value.

Reasonable-Dealer256

The bitcoin treasury strategy was a disaster. Once that position is closed out on 1 June the legacy business can start to re-rate.  Remember in 2024 they sold their 4g IP portfolio to Qualcomm for $200m while retaining a perpetual licence so the tech/know-how is validated.  For a $0 EV ($60m market cap is cash and BTC backed, net of outstanding loan payables) you get a free call option on a business with a tonne of upside with 5g roll out.  I would expect a bunch of early investors (especially Korean investors) to jump into SQNS after success with GCTS.  I’m in.

Why wouldn’t all web based industries just put a PW fail limit on every site. If Quantum Computing attempts to guess the PW and fails 10 times within a time period, then the IP is blocked or the account is locked… Am I wrong? Honestly asking.

Strength of IP, shrewd management, expansion into movies and theme parks, and I think most importantly, its fall was do to the RAM shortage, which I think they’ll recover from. P/E ratio isn’t too bad either. I think they’ll eventually rebound but it could be awhile.

They are all Chinese when it comes down to what the government wants they get it, all they do is steal everyone else IP and then figure out to have children make it

There’s no way Reddit or Facebook doesn’t know who you are. Unless you never post and always use a vpn or something more advanced. If they know your IP, they know where you live. If you ever logged in on your phone, even easier. All the IPs are mapped nowadays. Not even hard nowadays and probably mostly automated. Nothing is anonymous anymore. And even if you can mask your IP or data trail, they have your post history. You can use that to narrow down who you are. Data is moving all the time. Data brokers selling a ton of stuff and companies can just put them all together and get a good estimate of who you are. Take me, Reddit doesn’t know my email or my real name. But I 100% assume they know my identity just from all the thousands of times I logged in from different devices and my posts.

You could've said the same about Bethesda. First new IP in decades from the legendary studio. 

HappyCaterpillar2409

It literally was not. It was developed in Pal Alto on the main Apple campus. Apple's presence in Israel is not necessary at all. It's actually an IP theft risk.

HappyCaterpillar2409

Ya they have similar ones in Ireland, Malaysia and China. The overwhelming majority of manufacturing sites are in the USA. In the long-run it's best to keep everything domestic to protect IP.

I don’t think Adobe is a bad buy at these levels for a 30-50% return, I don’t think we’ll ever hit the highs of 600-700 again, but I could see 350-400 if earnings steadily grow, one thing I really like is the buybacks at these levels, management over the last quarter allocated $2.5B to repurchases, and seeing as a Adobe’s share price has been between $260-225 this quarter it’s much more accretive, there recent 10-Q disclosed 404.2m shares outstanding, I think management will buyback another 10-12m shares this quarter. Net cash position, Fcf hit $10b annually, and revenue growth reaccelerated to 12%, if revenue grows and ARR is growing faster than the 10.2% figure management put for guidance for FY26 then I’d be happy, also Adobe Express is gaining traction from what’ve seen and FireFly’s IP indemnification/protection is very strong. Most people say Firefly is shit but it seems to be improving capability wise.

"Forum" is the dumbest name ever, it's literally already a noun to describe message boards. Calling your web forum company "Forum" would be like me starting a company that sells plates and calling the brand "Plates". It would not only confuse a lot of people, it would look like I was being an asshole purposely trying to set myself up to sue my competitors for IP infringement for calling their plates "Plates".

Unlikely-Elk1738

The have your device details, IP address, all activity, internet provider, etc

I still don't understand why these companies try to pander to demographics that won't even buy their games, or games in general. Don't they have a fucking fiduciary duty? Why aren't they in jail when they destroy company and IP value to promote agendas and alienate their customers, geez.

**Title: DD: Stop looking at the Texas real estate. The FABC board tells you exactly what this micro-float actually is.** Everyone is looking at Fabric.AI ($FABC) and wondering why a failed EV/crypto shell suddenly pivoted to AI data center interconnects with Kopin ($KOPN). Some think it's pure vaporware. Others think it's a Texas colocation real estate play because their office is down the street from Dell's HQ. You are all missing the biggest tell on the tape. When you look at the board of directors, you immediately realize you are not looking at a board of semiconductor engineers. You are looking at a highly specialized tactical team of financial engineers, corporate lawyers, and M&A turnaround veterans. Here is exactly who is managing this $7M market cap, 1.44M float shell: * **Sebastian Giordano (The Turnaround Architect):** CEO of Ascentaur LLC. He specializes in C-Level consulting for distressed public companies, capital raising, and M&A. He is the operator who knows exactly how to take a broken asset (the legacy Ayro shell) and completely restructure its capital stack for a new purpose. * **Zvi Joseph (The SEC Shield):** Former Technology Counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed and Deputy General Counsel at Amdocs, holding advanced Corporate Governance certifications from Harvard Business School. When you pivot a legacy shell and transition tickers, you need someone with this exact profile to keep the SEC compliance bulletproof so short sellers can't tie you up in frivolous litigation. * **Gregory T. Schiffman (The Capital Custodian):** A CPA with 25+ years of corporate development and M&A experience, including managing global financial operations at Hewlett Packard. He is there to handle complex capital structuring and ensure the shell is pristine for incoming institutional capital. * **Wayne Remell Walker (The Micro-Cap Veteran):** Former Senior Counsel at DuPont and a serial independent director. He has extensive experience navigating the specific structural hurdles, PIPE deals, and compliance realities of small-cap Nasdaq holding companies. **The Takeaway** Men with this level of legacy pedigree (Harvard, HP, DuPont) do not sit on a microscopic $7M shell company board for resume padding. They certainly do not risk their SEC compliance records on micro-cap vaporware. They only step onto a board like this to oversee a highly structured, asymmetric financial event. Kopin didn’t need Fabric.AI for its engineering talent. Kopin already operates DoD-certified cleanrooms and has the physical MicroLED tech to solve the copper thermal bottleneck in AI data centers. What Kopin needed was a clean, low-float financial vehicle to house this specific AI infrastructure IP so they could bring it to market without having to execute a massive, dilutive traditional IPO. Josh Silverman and this exact board of directors provided the M&A, legal, and financial architecture to make that happen. This isn't a startup trying to figure out how to run a business. This is a special operations unit of financial engineers keeping the corporate vehicle perfectly pristine while they wait for the engineers in the cleanroom to hand them the tape-out prototype. They built the shell. Kopin is dropping in the physics. https://preview.redd.it/a7wbarkj9n2h1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d71ff9a89f46435845b1ea775e7857043d05220c

MaximusMeridiusD

You may be right, and your location and asset thesis only strengthens the case for Kopin and Fabric Ai. As for who created the shell its is Josh Silverman (ex-Iroquois Capital). i don’t think he accidentally bought a failed EV shell. He specifically engineered a pristine, low-float financial vehicle to house this IP without going through a massive, expensive IPO. My take Silverman structures the market mechanics; Michael Murray (Kopin) is the operator who builds the tech. But honestly, the real estate and the financial engineering are secondary. The only thing that actually dictates the survival and valuation of this company is the physics. Whatever the geographic advantage, the entire play hinges on creating the testable bench prototype. Given what we already know about Kopin's existing, battle-tested MicroLED military tech, the physical hardware of that prototype is already 90% workable. They just need the Verilog logic to route the data through it. If they successfully tape-out and prove they can move data via light without the thermal bottleneck of copper, the legacy real estate won't matter. My modeling on the foundry timelines, were just confirmed but their news item - end of 2026 we will know. i also expect announcements about progress and NDA lifting in the fall.

OrdinaryMix4013

crazy shit you can link the quamtum computing insider trades to the white house IP address LMAO

DoubleFamous5751

Only one I can think of is PLBY. But they’re more into licensing their IP and brand now

BoldestKobold

Playboy basically isn't an adult product company any more. It is mostly a branding company either licensing the Playboy IP for other uses, or directly selling their own fashion products and the like.

Fakeaccounr6

GFS and MRAM are partners in manufacturing; GFS also uses MRAM IP in its eMRAMs

SpaceEngineering

There is a lot of IP worth good money, such as the Raptor engine. But the valuation is just insane.

Demonic_Maidens

I was waiting for Nintendo to go down. I think it might drop a little lower but would hate to miss out if it pops back up. Think I will DCA a little now. Stock can easily be worth 20 bucks with their IP rights

Plagiarism, IP theft, and piracy: three of the Chinese government’s biggest concerns

Ninjavitis_

Cash flow is not impressive at all. But the umbrella of companies that they’ve acquired and their IP and physical assets are difficult to appraise  I’m going to just see how it plays out. Maybe buy some RKLB instead  

TENANT_OF_ROOM_237

Tesla’s valuation is not due to their current financial position, its the fact that they are best positioned for when, not if, autonomous cars have a clear path to being fully authorized via government regulation. Tesla’s FSD software is a very, very valuable piece of IP.

freshStart178

How can OpenAI raise money and develop IP as a non-profit, then convert to a for profit and agree to allow ChatGPT to kill people without oversight? That seems illegal-ish

AggravatingFlow1178

It's a for-profit company which owns a non-profit organization which owns the IP. Something like that idk.

d--__--b

It's still the same topic, do I need to walk you through this step by step? Companies look for cost cutting measures > Outsource labor to country know for rock bottom wages (They're also know for stealing IP) > IP is stolen and knock offs are produced China did not force US corporations to produce overseas; In the search for a larger share of the profits, US corporations made a deal with the devil promising decreased costs for stolen IP. Have to emphasize this incase it's not simple enough for you: US corporations sent their IP to China while China is famous for stealing IP and is surprised because their IP was stolen; All this because US corporations wanted to pay wages that are so low they are not legal within the United States.

d--__--b

It's the job of US corporations to protect their IP. You can't give China your product blueprints and be surprised when knock offs flood the market 2 weeks later. It's like giving an addict $20 and surprised they spend it on crack.

Holiday-Hippo-6748

Give me a break. The only reason they had access AT ALL is because all of the money in the world wasn’t enough for the corporate clowns from the west. If they had simply left production in their own backyard maybe there’d be more employed people and they’d have their IP safely protected. But they *always* need more money, no matter what. So they got what they deserved for being so greedy.

Exodus_Euphoria

Yeah, amazing progress. Just ban foreign competition, steal IP, subsidize your own firms, censor dissent, and call it national strategy. Very bullish on authoritarianism, I guess.

Aranthos-Faroth

You act like IP theft has never been done by the west yet here we sit today with western made AI that is literally fucking built on the earth scale theft of IP.

dvdmovie1

I'm not seeing anything about a split. Is it a reverse split? "I've always thought that this company has a solid foundation and future due to its large collection of IP and strong R&D" The stock is down 90% in the last 5 years. There was a 3D printing bubble about a dozen years ago but nothing has materialized with the sector.

eggplantpot

It's stupid. People are having a collective psychosis with AI. To the point where they'll love something until someone says it's AI, then they hate it. Or the opposite, someone will share their art and people will hate it case the first thing in mind for them is "it's AI". I can get the many many criticisms of AI, from the power consumption, to the stolen IP used to train it, to the real risks of something bad happening because of it, job losses, (or my personal favorite) that the oligarch class will kill the 99% once machines can do everything. I get all of this, but people need to understand you cannot stop progress, you can only try and reign it to serve people. They think that for virtue signalling on comment sections and downvotig someone will make a difference. The hate is completely misdirected and they just look like fools.

thenorthernwhiteboy

Cache is SRAM, always has been. It needs single cycle access and MRAM latency is far too high. Your original post said Everspin owns the foundational IP for the orbital AI buildout and the market has not priced in the re rate. Now you're saying MRAM doesn't have a big market and can't scale like NAND or HBM. Uhm which is it? If eMRAM is just a small on-die feature and not real system memory, then by your own logic Everspin's discrete STT-MRAM, in exactly the same order, holding code, configuration, and small non vol state, is also not real system memory. Therefore having zero moat as they will not scale with the buildout.

gnetc

Next main line console isn’t going to be for quite a long time, most likely not until 2030. They’re doing a great job expanding their IP with theme parks and movies so they have some new opportunities of different revenue streams. Plus they have a flawless balance sheet and own 1/3rd of Pokemon. I think they’ll do very well if the market starts to enter a more defensive mode especially if rates start going up. Fair value is $17-$18 imo.

UgurcanSoruc

Nice timing. Nintendo tends to run on hardware cycles + attach rate + IP strength. I’d watch how the market prices the next hardware announcement and whether they lean into buybacks/dividends over time. No position in NTDOY. Not financial advice.

jarMburger

The holy grail of MRAM is to get to STT MRAM which ever spin has been working on perfecting it for years. The issue is that it’s not as fast as SRam so can’t serve that purpose in cerebas type setup. It could potentially replace some of the dram/HBM applications where power consumption is a major issue so edge device scenarios definitely works. The issue there is that while ever spin does own some core stt IP, they lack the ability to integrate it to a I/O setup that can handle today’s memory bandwidth demand and they really don’t have that type of expertise. The likely scenario there is to work with one of the larger memory player to integrate their IP on top of the memory maker ip and manufacturing experience. Oh, also the bigger challenge is to get the yield up high enough that it can be economical viable alternative to HBM/traditional dram. That has always been one of the major huddle is getting it to larger market. The DoD folks don’t care and can overpay for niche usage but the rest of world takes cost into consideration.

epic_troll_tard

legacy hard drive companies are perfectly positioned to pivot to MRAM both from the manufacturing side and the IP, but for some reason they have not pursued it. maybe they're too entrenched in their gravy train to care but if MRAM becomes viable you can guarantee Western Digital, Seagate, etc will have a huge advantage in this space. personally i think the density makes it cost prohibitive (if you look at it in terms of devices per wafer)

DrElkSnout

They can gaslight you all they want, but take a look at IP and tell me we aren't deep in a recession. You can't. Chip stocks are making retards rich on this forum and in some hedge funds, but the actual economy is boned. Same with RVs (WGO) and homes (HD). All the building you see is just black rock creating apartments for 15 minute cities. We are not in a good place in this country right now and it's about to get worse before it gets worse.

Saying TSMC doesn't "need" to depend on Everspin because they have their own MRAM patents is like saying Samsung doesn't need to depend on ARM because they design their own mobile chips. In the modern chip landscape, scale is only half the battle; the other half is geographic security and foundational ownership. Everspin is a pure-play, **American-owned semiconductor company.** With the U.S. government fiercely pushing the CHIPS Act and nationalizing secure hardware, Everspin’s onshore production (bolstered by their 10-year manufacturing deal with Microchip in Oregon) makes them a protected strategic asset. Samsung cannot replace a domestically audited, ITAR-compliant, radiation-hardened memory pipeline for Western defense. Samsung specializes in high-volume, commodity hardware. Everspin holds over 650 active patents covering the baseline architecture of MRAM and STT-MRAM. When massive foundries want to embed this tech into their custom automotive or edge-AI nodes down to 5nm, they frequently choose to cross-license or use foundational blocks from pure-play design pioneers rather than fight decades of IP litigation. Samsung scaling up physical MRAM fabs doesn't threaten Everspin; it validates that the entire global market is shifting toward their exact architecture. You don't short the patent-holding, U.S.-backed pioneer right as their industry goes mainstream.

robmafia

> Everspin holds over 600 active patents covering basic MRAM and STT-MRAM architectures. TSMC isn't going to spend billions fighting an IP war ...dude. tsmc (and samsung... hynix, and others) also/already have tons of mram patents, too.

Fakeaccounr6

Everspin holds over 600 active patents covering basic MRAM and STT-MRAM architectures. TSMC isn't going to spend billions fighting an IP war; they are a foundry. Foundries build the physical silicon for fabless designers or license foundational architecture to offer embedded MRAM (eMRAM) to their clients. **Expanding the Entire TAM:** The biggest hurdle for MRAM historically hasn’t been demand—it's been manufacturing scale. The world's largest foundry investing heavily in MRAM infrastructure means the technology is officially going mainstream for next-gen hardware, Edge AI, and space systems. When the giant who builds the world's advanced chips starts aggressively pushing your tech sector down to 5nm, you don't short the only pure-play IP owner on the market. You buy more! Also, important to note that MRAM is American.
