Categories: IP Theft Theft


Today, intellectual property (IP) can constitute over 80 percent of a company's value.  Thieves have become more highly skilled and stealthy.  Some global estimate the global financial loss due to IP theft is in the hundreds of billions of dollars and growing!

IP is prevalent in programs and on projects.  Please take a moment and answer this poll here on ProjectManagement.com

That value figure includes tacit knowledge which is hard to quantify, and even harder to ascertain IP.

Sante Please take the poll - copy the link address and paste it into your browser. Links don't seem to work on here!

While IP has its place, it must be said that strict adherence to IP hinders rapid progress. In software, for example, the emergence of an open source movement has brought on the onset of many of the upcoming technologies today (blockchain, IOT, etc.).

If an Apple or an IBM had closely held these cards against their respective chests, we would not be in a position today to leverage these technologies in an optimal manner.

In the long term, an organisation can leverage shared viewpoints on a distributed IP - and benefit more - than on strictly protected IPs.

@ Karan, coming from Netscape I certainly support the open-source movement. However, the years and sometimes decades of research that costs $$$ MUST be protected. Right out of the shoot both APPLE and IBM were very protective of their IP and that was the foundation of what they both have become today! Just like IP protection, sharing has its place and that is perhaps the most difficult part of all of this. Deciding where the curvy line should be drawn.
