Preventing Intellectual
Property Theft by Partners and Contractors
“In the knowledge marketplace of
the 21st century information is the currency that buys
competitiveness. Firms that lose control of their
intellectual property (IP) will spend far more of their
bottom line defending their IP in the courtroom than they
would have if they had elected to secure it appropriately in
the first place.”
John Avellanet, from Building Biotechnology:
Starting, Managing, And Understanding Biotechnology
Companies,
