We'll explore the key issues when developing relationships with suppliers, customers and other partners. We'll explore the business path that IP takes, and the ways it can leak out. As well as discussing basic IP strategy for semiconductor and electronics businesses, we’ll take a closer look at how IP strategy should be developed when partnerships with third parties will be a key part of your growth. We'll provide examples about the benefits of getting it right, and what can go wrong. We’ll also offer practical tips when entering into IP-sharing agreements, with suppliers, collaborators and customers.
