Come on, it happens all the frippin time! I have friends and family who've spent years trying to get a patent for their "great idea" only to find that a large corporation already holds a similar patent.

I think that companies will frequently buy IP from people looking to cash in quick on their ideas, and then never produce and market the fruits of those thoughts. They just want to make sure that competitors can't legally indroduce innovation before them.

Doesn't Disney do this to foreign animation studios? I think Proctor & Gamble also buys up lots of IP.

but I am a retarded so don't listen to whut I say
