On Thursday the New York Times reported that 100 IBM lawyers were holed up in a hotel in Silicon Valley poring over the Sun intellectual property portfolio. Four days later the proposed deal has collapsed, even though Big Blue's desire to get its hands on Sun's IP is said to be one of the primary factors behind its move for the company. So what is going on here? Have those lawyers found a big problem? Are the anti-trust issues too much of an obstacle. Or is this just a case of IBM playing hardball? Maybe it is the latter. I can't help thinking of an article that Andrew Watson wrote for IAM a while back. One which I have quoted before.
