E10: Do You Own What You Think You Own? [Asset Building]

Ownership issues regarding intellectual property are very different from the ownership issues in almost every other area of law. In order to find out what we actually own, we need to do legal due diligence, which is a process that tracks a piece of intellectual property from its creation to its current owner (or owners--gah!). 

In this episode, we explore whether you own what you think you own, including:

  • What the legal due diligence process is
  • An overview of IP ownership rules
  • Common mistakes people make regarding IP ownership and how to avoid them.
  • How the equation “Increased Visibility = Increased Scrutiny” applies to your business.
