It’s a well-known fact that intellectual property is critical to fostering innovation, but when IP is not properly protected it creates company-wide bottlenecks.  

When your unique ideas, products, or services are infringed upon, your innovation strategy—and bottom line— takes a hit.  

In this episode of IP Disruptors, we discuss this topic in detail with experts Mike McLean, the VP of IP Operations and Transactions at IAC, and Stephen Robertson, Founder of IP 100 and Metis Partners.  

Join us and learn:  

  • How to build a proactive IP policing strategy
  • Common IP pitfalls including lack of total IP protection
  • How to use technology to monitor infringements, stolen trade secrets, and more!
