Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset: Intellectual Property

Companies create intellectual property daily, and the ability to protect it directly affects its value. There are four main types of intellectual property to consider protecting:
- trademarks and service marks,
- copyrights,
- patents, and
- trade secrets.

This article discusses these as well as contractual protections that apply to employing IT staffers, consultants, and subcontractors.
