What is the value of IP that doesn't work? Edison machine IP seems about as useful as those time travel or perpetual motion machine patents that come up.

I would very much like a Theranos Edison for my office, next to a Juicero.

Someone ought to make a museum of failed products. These two exhibits would be a great start!

I'd imagine those machines in particular would be useful as museum pieces.

That is what I am thinking.

I don't think that the machine IP has much (any) value, more just curious what happened to them from an "oddity" viewpoint e.g. did they get thrown in a dumpster or is there some warehouse out there, packed with all the stuff they cleared out of the old Theranos HQ

Presumably there are liquidation companies that deal with such things. (There are companies out there to do pretty much anything.)

Collectibles…definitely a market there
