Do You Own What You Think You Own? The Importance of Legal Due Diligence Before Implementing an IP-based Growth Strategy
Ownership issues regarding intellectual property are very different from the ownership issues in almost every other area of law. In order to find out what we actually own, we need to do legal due diligence, which is a process that tracks a piece of intellectual property from its creation to its current owner (or owners--gah!).
In this episode, we explore whether you own what you think you own, including:
What the legal due diligence process is
An overview of IP ownership rules
Common mistakes people make regarding IP ownership and how to avoid them.
How the equation “Increased Visibility = Increased Scrutiny” applies to your business.
