Intellectual property is a vital business asset that needs protection. It includes all your ideas, creations, products/services that drive growth. 

If you don't protect your intellectual property (IP), you risk competitors stealing or copying what you do, which could lead to lost revenue. 

The digital age has further complicated matters. It is now very easy to accidentally copy someone else's work, thanks to the rise of AI and automation that continue to blur the lines between innovation and imitation. 

But what is intellectual property exactly? 

Where do you start protecting what you own? 

How do you know when to use a copyright, license or trademark?  

And how can you use your intellectual "assets" to increase your sales and achieve business success?

In this episode, our guest Erin Austin breaks down all aspects of intellectual property, its different categories, how to use them and how to start protecting your creations. She also shares tips and insights on using your IP assets to help propel your business forward.

Some technology companies embrace inventions and patents but other just stockpile them, more out of fear for how they may disrupt their leadership position. Some investors regard IP rights positively; others do not. After massive legislative and judicial weakening can patents still be relied upon to help generate reasonable returns? Veteran VC and technology investor Gary Lauder weighs in from Aspen. 

National Science Foundation research shows that many R&D-oriented companies believe that trade secrets are more important than patents and copyrights. How did this happen and why are trade secrets growing in importance? Also, what do creators, employees and businesses need to know about trade secrets to compete. 

Canada is a trading nation.  Throughout our history, trade has been one of the foundations of our economy.  Equally important has been to establish rules for international trade.  This episode we hear how trade agreement commitments are shaping Canada’s ability to regulate the digital economy.  Matt Malone, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law at Thompson Rivers University, talks about how recent trade agreements are shaping the digital economy, often before domestic governments have acted with their own laws and regulations in pertinent areas.

He cautions that as Canada seeks to revamp law and policy for the digital economy, a growing risk area is divergence between our international obligations and our domestic laws and policies.  In particular, he notes trade secrets are the go-to intellectual property for algorithms, data, and secret processes and formulas, but Canada’s law, policy, and enforcement in this area are uncertain and weak, even as trade agreements impose requirements for stricter regulation and enforcement.  Ultimately, Matt calls on Canada to adopt a proactive approach that contemplates the impact of such provisions in trade agreements on its domestic law and policy goals.
