Discuss Risks, Management Strategies, and Best Practices for Protecting Your IP   MANAGING IP RISK: CHOOSE IT OR LOSE IT Wednesday, May 9, 2012 1 PM EST / Noon CST / 11 AM MST / 10 AM PST (90 Minutes) Intellectual property always seems to be in the news recently, either because of big deals, or big lawsuits. Clearly, the focus is on value growth and value capture for the businesses involved, but what about value preservation? On the flip-side of negotiated transactions and settlements are the vulnerabilities associated with what may be your company's most valuable assets: your intellectual property. IP risks are also in the news: just the number of hacking stories alone implies a new level of subtle, systematic, sophisticated organized theft of IP that can lead to loss of competitive advantage, reputation and market value. At our May Webinar Wednesday, you'll hear our panel discuss their opinions around some real IP risks and management strategies in a number of risk areas such as cyber-fraud, outsourcing/off-shoring, cloud computing, and licensing.
