Is there a 102(b) in your 401(k)?

Let me clarify: '102(b)' refer to a portion the US statute for patentability of inventions, and '401(k)' refers to the ubiquitous retirement account vehicles.

Forbes.com has a good article entitled "Hedge funds and institutional investors are financing the latest wave of IP lawsuits." See, http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2007/0507/044.html.
