Your organization’s intellectual property is its life blood. It is most probably what caused your organization to come into existence in the first place and it is what keeps you alive. It is also what will power your growth globally. Products and services can be made and delivered anywhere; but the ideas that underlay them all belong to someone somewhere. These people and their employers that produced these ideas that other people need or want are and should be the beneficiaries of the value that they have added. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well there is a reason that intellectual property law is one of the fastest growing disciplines throughout the world. It is on this battleground that the winners and losers of globalization will be determined. What?—you didn’t know you were in a fight? Look again….
