First versions of anything are hard to come by, lousy, expensive, and take time to access... Early Google is a good example. If you try to make your product or service perfect you miss out on market guidance. If you go for market guidance, you "miss out" on "intellectual property rights" opportunity.
Smart startups skip then IPR.
But but but, google has lots of IPR. No, they have copyrights and patents. And they use them defensively. If there was no such thing as copyrights, trademarks or patents, then Google would have succeeded anyway. Almost none of the 8 million patented or countless copyrighted and trademarked items since 1789 have succeeded. IPR negatively correlates with success.
