Summary

Abstract: Systematic methods for building and using intellectual property (IP) support companies in creative projects. These methods ensure compliance with IP laws to both establish IP interests and enforce those interests. More than just systematic means to advance legal interests, well-crafted and carefully operated IP compliance programs serve as reliable sources of new creative assets and IP-enhanced profits. At the same time, IP compliance programs are often preventative. IP owned by other parties can severely limit companies’ freedom of action and produce unexpected liabilities that can scuttle major business enterprises. IP compliance programs can prevent commitments to business actions that will conflict with other parties’ IP interests, allowing alternatives avoiding the conflicts to be considered or the requisite permissions obtained to allow use of the needed IP.
