Virtual Chief Intellectual Property Counsel Program
Today’s Competitive Landscape
In today’s world, technological innovation drives industrial growth. In 2010, 80% of the value of a U.S. publicly-traded company came from intangible assets. Thus, the importance of intellectual property (especially patent) rights – as the largest component of intangibles – in a 21st century, global knowledge economy cannot be doubted. Further, data showing that small businesses generate 13-14 more patents per employee than large firms empirically suggest that this 80% figure applies, if not more so, to smaller (and private) companies as well.
The Problem
The short-term salability, the long-term profitability, and the eventual ability to undertake an initial public offering of a small and medium enterprise (SME) depends upon the ability to develop, acquire, apply and protect their innovations.
