Commercialization, Products and Patents might be good single thread heading,
Peter. If you agree, I would like to point out the recent patent litigation
decision which found in favor of David Gelernter, the computer science
professor who was also into commercializing scientific visions. Here is the
reference about how he will receive about 10-20 million, bottom line, after
his litigation team and company receive a 200-600 million dollar judgement
that Apple has infringed his patent: (01)

Subject: [ontolog-forum] [OT] proper subject line, please [was - Re:
commercial products] (05)
Pavithra, Doug and anyone similarly inclined ... (06)
... if you are not talking about "commercial products" (which was the
subject Ferenc Kovacs started this thread on), please modify the
subject line of the message to something more appropriate, or merely
start another thread, please. (07)
Suggestion: you might consider to just "forward" the later portion of
this thread which pertains to your "new subject" and then start that
as a "new" post with a new (and more appropriate) subject line. That
way someone who is serious about tracing back to the origins of the
conversation would be able to do it relatively easily. (08)
Thanks. =ppy
