The role of intellectual property in crystallising a company’s intangible asset value is being increasingly recognised.
In this video, expert patent attorneys Virginia Driver and Tom Woodhouse explore why tech giants are registering so many AI patents.
They highlight how copyright protection alone is not sufficient to protect this valuable asset because it only protects the code itself and not the underlying idea. Using patents to protect IP plugs this gap.
They also discuss how trade secrets and confidential information are overvalued by start-ups into scale-ups.
