Ask HN: What happens to acquired companies IP?

After the recent acquisition of Gowalla by Facebook, I began to wonder, what happens to all the great little logos that Gowalla has? When Gowalla gets shut down(which seems to be what is indicated is going to happen), do they just get buried? I wonder the same about all the startups Google has acquired. Where does all the graphic design and code go?

    It is owned by the acquirer.
