Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is the field of law protecting creative new endeavors, including, among others, the sub-fields of Trademark Law, Copyright and Patents. Governments protect new art, ideas and technology to incentivize their creation, and enrich the world.
As the world economy continues to undergo an information technology revolution, the field of Intellectual Property is becoming increasingly important. We are transitioning from a focus on manufacturing to intellectually-driven economic growth, and intellectual property is at the fulcrum of that transition.
Recently, secondary markets have begun to emerge, including auctions, asset pooling and other monetization vehicles, which are increasing the value of intellectual property further by increasing their liquidity. Properly protecting and monetizing intellectual property assets, such as patents, trademarks and copyrights, has become essential to business success in the 21st century.
