Intellectual Property
April 01, 2016
Intellectual Property (IP) is a highly complex type of property and, as we saw last month in Part One of this article, there are few cases addressing its valuation in the context of divorce. On top of this, because of the emphasis on mediation and arbitration, fewer cases are being litigated in the court system, resulting in fewer court decisions addressing these complex issues. That means there is less guidance for the practitioner, as different treatments of similar facts and great ways of addressing IP valuation remain unreported.

Competitive Intelligence

Competitive Intelligence (CI) is not a new concept. It has been actively practiced in many industries for a number of years.

The complaint appears to be, as is often the case, slap dash, content to point out that Allied revalued some of its positions, marking them down for a variety of reasons, and the stock price went down - all this, in the view of plaintiff's counsel, amounting to violations of Rule 10b-5.
