That's pretty much nowhere near the case. Gears was 100% funded, promoted and published by Microsoft. They don't own the IP (somewhat shockingly, as that tends to be what happens when one funds, promotes and publishes a game), by they were involved in pretty much every step of the game's creation and even had some of their own R&D staff on it.
