Intellectual Property Ownership Conundrums in Business Transactions
Business Law Today highlighted comments from Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice Co-chair Scott Lashway, who spoke on a panel at the American Bar Association Business Law Fall Meeting in September. Discussing the role of intellectual property in business transactions, the panel addressed important considerations for the various types of IP, distinguishing the less concrete “lowercase ip” from the more formalized “uppercase IP.”
Questioning companies who have delayed protecting any expensive IP assets, Scott asks, “Have you taken the necessary measures to protect your lowercase ip and your uppercase IP?”
