Intellectual Property Rights - The Chinese Challenge
Doing business with China presents many opportunities but with that come many challenges too. Different attitudes towards knowledge and rules means that China is perhaps culturally opposed to the very notion of intellectual property. Chinese culture respects the knowledge itself and not the ownership of that knowledge and this culture has slowly developed over 5000 years. Moves are being made within China to address the issue of IP ownership, there are more courts, trials and prosecutions but Western organisations will still need to tread with caution regarding their IP rights when it comes to doing business in this exciting economy.

On Piracy Victory and the Just Shaping of Letters
What is it that both Albrecht Durer and Nike understand about the rudiments of branding? In the late Renaissance, Durer’s iconic AD monogram became an emblem of high accomplishment, a symbol of quality applied to the remarkable drypoints made by his studio, and hence, synonymizing value to an educated European intelligentsia. Around 1505, Durer was even forced to denounce the Venetian artist Raimondi, who had copied Durer’s works and signed them with the famous mark. This is one of the first trials defending the rights of an author and the protection of what is today called intellectual property.

It is critical that a producer be very conscious and organized with regard to intellectual property.

Finding the hidden Intellectual Property (IP) value in procurement contracts (Future Path Profile)
Looking beyond what Future Path President and CEO Greg Waite referred to as the “casual conversation” surrounding the issue of Intellectual Property (IP) rights within the majority of procurement contracts, I thought of my own work as a consultant.

Cohabitation Agreements
In Canada, there remains a great deal of misunderstanding about the rights and responsibilities of common-law couples. There are no statutory property rights for common-law couples regardless of how long they have cohabited. There is a presumption that each person keeps the property that is in his or her name and property that was acquired jointly is divided in accordance with contributions to its acquisition.
