They are however permanently criticized by NGOs, who are relayed by medias, which then affects the popular perception, but (in my view) essentially on the basis of misunderstandings as to what rights do patents really provide to their owners. I often asked myself if my own perception may not be distorted by my practice, but I could never really find convincing arguments against it (maybe am I really too much distorted...).<br /><br />As to the "resistance" of IP (my views are mostly patent-oriented), I have the impression that it is not really IP or intangibles which are resisting, but rather the businesses which are making use of IP, i.e. businesses which are truely innovative. Not sure that IP is so centrally seen in speculative businesses... So, the perceived central role of IP in crisis times has probably more to do with the (newly?) perceived resistance of innovation-driven companies (which are definitely making use of IP).FrenchParadoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923005810906159036.post-18703779029032071492009-09-29T11:38:57.370+01:002009-09-29T11:38:57.370+01:00I agree with your point, IP is actually the center...I agree with your point, IP is actually the center of business.

Naturally for this to happen need solid IP management.<br />Ventsi<br />Sofia, BulgariaAnonymoushttp://intellectualpropertyplanet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
