Will Royal Dutch Shell fly a pirates flag on the Shell TechWorks office as fair warning to any entrepreneurs foolish enough to disclose confidential new technology and business ideas to Shell – in my experience the worlds leader predator of intellectual property?

Without making much of a splash, the largest corporation in the world set up shop in Cambridge last year. Royal Dutch Shell — with an astonishing $481 billion in revenue and 87,000 employees — opened up its first Shell TechWorks innovation office in Kendall Square last year. The objective, according to a company web page, is to “work with local entrepreneurs, investors, companies, scientists, partners and suppliers to help speed up the deployment of new technologies in Shell’s business.”

Highly entertaining considering they outsourced all of their Shell IT International section in 2008 which has been running poorly the last few years.
