When I read On Intelligence and from there found Numenta's stuff years ago, I was pretty excited. There were some crazy cool demos back then, and they've occasionally popped back up with more.
So it's too bad about all of the patents, then, now, and forthcoming. They promise not to sue [1], and pledge that future patents are for the 'protection of the NuPIC community'. Maybe, but I'll spend my time with one of the many open-source projects without patent pledges of nebulous enforceability. Most of them seem to do just fine without patent guardians.
