Beyond IP Protection by Nick Wreden, Contributor; Network World (US) http://www.itnetcentral.com/computerworld/article.asp?id=14540&leveli=0&info=Computerworld Here's an excerpt: "As a closer, I asked how many believed that information is power. Almost all the lawyers raised their hands. Wrong answer. In a globalized world, information is power only when it is shared. Collaboration will increase the power and effectiveness of an idea, while strict protection will only limit its potential. Yes, there is a necessary role for IP protection in every corporate strategy, but it should focus more on exploration of new frontiers than on worrying about dragons and monsters lurking beyond the edge of a distant future."
