Sounds fascinating that you essentially "rented out" your company through a sale that got you profits and just waited a few years for big corp to sunset the product and recognizing its value you're now rising it from the ashes?!

How does this work out on the IP and legal side? A portion of the OS is now open source, but that doesn't make google surrender the trademark does it?



It's unclear that they sold the trademark in the first place.


I stand corrected. [1] Google owns the name Pebble.
