As part of my role as an IBM CAS Visiting Scientist I work with Extreme Blue groups during the summer period. Three of my former UCD honours student Keith, Cheryl and Darin have ended up on Extreme Blue. I consider it to be an exceptional opportunity for any grad to understand and experience industrial R&D. My involvement with Extreme Blue is a collaboration and often results in invention disclosures and from time to time a patent is filed. One such patent for a mobile recommendation invention was recently filed in Europe and we expect a follow up international application in the months to come.
