INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY [IP] - WHAT IS THE VALUE?

How can we safeguard an individual's IP ?

On 07 Jun 2005 Graeme PHILIPSON a leading Australian IT Researcher published an article in the
Sydney Morning Herald "Free Trade, the new con trick"

That article focused on how the Aus-USA FTA will impact on Intellectual Property [IP].

Graeme's comments included "we have a system that enables the strong to edge out the weak, and that
ultimately stifles creativity rather than fosters it".

A number of speakers have been invited to submit their views on "IP - what is the value and how do you protect your IP ?"

As 26 people have already registered interest in this seminar, it will probably be conducted as an eSeminar to enable
interested parties to access the speakers papers once they have been received.

In addition, as several e-mails have been received from Software Developers concerned with the difficulties of protecting
Intellectual Property, a prototype of an IP Record Registration process has been developed for consideration by interested parties.
