Critical to every organization’s success and survival is the safeguarding of these ideas, inventions, and creative expressions – its intellectual property (“IP”). Copyrights, trademarks, patents, and industrial design rights may be more difficult to protect than other asset classes, but the theft or compromise of these economic rights can significantly undermine a firm’s long-term revenue or reputation and even hasten its demise. The proliferation of the internet, file sharing, new and developing digital technologies, and the increasing demand for branded goods have all contributed to increased risks for brand integrity. It is no exaggeration to say that IP theft costs businesses and governments billions of dollars per year in revenue and tax base, and the threat will only continue to grow.
