What is the fruit of human capital? Intellectual capital.
Intellectual capital reflects the inspiration of innovation (patents, trade secrets), the popular appeal of familiar names and logos (trademarks) and expression of ideas in written, artistic or other tangible form (copyright). Today, intellectual capital can be captured in business process management tools that enable rapid changes in business processes and easier allocation of work flows across boundaries.
The easy international flow of ideas and products challenges lawyers to preserve and protect intellectual property rights (IPR). Today, virtually every business transaction, even investment, has some IPR component. An understanding of the sources, limitations and uses of IPR can help protect IPR, quantify risks and values, and inspire greater investment in innovation and commercial exploitation through licensing, joint ventures and other strategies.
We assist our clients in identification of administration and commercial exploitation of their IPR.
We are not patent counsel but rely on patent counsel for patent prosecution.
