Without intellectual property protection, what's yours is mine. Or at least it could be.
Companies spend time developing new products and think they are the only one creating this new item. But before they know it they see an ad for the same product that they have been working on. Can they sue? Do they sell the company? In this white paper our authors review the ambivalence that tech companies have towards intellectual property. They also discuss is software patents are dead and the trade secret alternative.
