Intellectual Property is more than patents and trade secrets (although those are important) but also a clear understanding of what the company should be and do and what it should not. What needs to be part of the company and what can be outsourced. Decisions here will determine the company growth and hiring strategy – as well as identifying what needs to be protected through patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. Intellectual Property that needs protecting can include algorithms and software implementations but is increasingly likely to consist of data sets for the training, testing and validation of Machine Learning models.
