It makes sense for historians.

No real sense in discussing why Autodesk bought something or will buy
something. They just did and will continue to do so.

You do not need to be in the business of licensing patents to
benefit from acquiring some. First they don't get in your way
anymore, second they get in the way of your concurrents, third
they don't quit if they don't like what they see. Companies like
Autodesk are quite sensitive about legal issues. At least the
patents are still in their hands.
On another hand, where is that $35 millions dollars team now ?
Tell me. No offense here but it seems the most valuable (tech
speaking) members of the XSI dev team have left the boat by now.
What a wise move from Autodesk if she really was after that team !
And where is that working business now ? No comment.
All those millions for.. what for btw, fairy tails aside ?

Oh my god, parents again? Patents are worth nothing if you are
not in the
business of licensing patents, which Autodesk isn't in. Where
these millions dollar
patents exactly, and how is that worth 35 miliions? Hiring
dozens of people in one
shot plus a working business is worth millions, not some useless
region dumb ass
patent they never used. Softimage`s I.P. was worth exactly zero.

All until Autodesk came.
Here is what happened in 2008:

Then when Ronald Beirouti left (who created ICE), it was
definitely the end of ICE (and Softimage).
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/xsi_list/ElbS6ZbjKEk/vMyh8CGhCpQJ)
Peoples still think Autodesk acquired Softimage from Avid for
XSI or for the developers team. It was all for the patents.
The rest is "accessory".
How many patents Solid Angle had ?
