Latest IAM - with bonus
The February/March 2006 issue of Intellectual Asset Management, published by Globe White Page, carries a massive supplement entitled IP Value 2006. This supplement, subtitled 'Building and enforcing intellectual property value: an international guide for the boardroom', is an interesting collection of things every boardroom will indeed want to know about (transfer pricing, securitisation, proposed US tax reform, enforcement of US patents outside the US, outsourcing) together with things which - if they ever got as far as the boardroom - would be regarded with surprise, curiosity or alarm (how to file a patent in Venezuela, fighting pirates in Cyprus, limits to free speech in Argentine trade mark law).
The IAM itself reports on the evolution of the new terminology of "I-stuff" (a term the IPKat has yet to hear anyone use seriously; Merpel adds, don't search for "I-stuff" on the internet unless you've a strong stomach). There are also good reports on how US patent infringement cases are becoming fewer in number but more valuable and on the resurgence of IP in the Japanase economy.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
