Nothing fishy here. The patents are intellectual property and assets of the corporation. As such they are the property of the investors and the creditors. Selling them to your wife is illegal in this instance.
Not if the investors agree to do so. How many can there be in a company of two employees?
They would still have to get the OK from their investors - that IP is probably what their investors bought into in the first place. A company of 2 people has no other value.
I think the point is that the patents are all the company really has and M$ is stealling them. I know that big money tends to play legal games to get the things they want but this makes no sense. The license should cost less than the legal fees. Plus, the bad publicity and already being in legal trouble with the feds. Somebody at M$ is clearly not thinking.
