Intellectual property (“IP”) is the most precious set of assets held by twenty-first century companies. It consists of an organization’s brands and trade-marks, copyrighted works, patents, reputation and trade secrets. It is estimated that IP constitutes 70% or more of the negotiable asset value of many established corporations. However, IP is vulnerable to unique risks, distinct from traditional asset protection and financial liability. In fact, business crises of modern times have involved direct attacks on IP, or collateral damage to IP. The extent to which a company can effectively exploit its IP and manage the surrounding risk is one of the main factors affecting its overall ongoing success.
As a result, IP is at the new frontier of corporate governance—crossing functions of auditing, valuation, business management, market optimization, and legal protection.
The risks to which IP is vulnerable include (among others):
Infringement
Depreciation
Dilution
Counterfeiting
Trade Secret conveyance
