New Research: Mark Blaxill and Ralph Eckardt, are the authors of the forthcoming book The Invisible Edge: Taking Your Strategy to the Next Level Using Intellectual Property (Portfolio, March 2009). Their latest white paper on innovation and intellectual property, "The Innovation Imperative", argues that America's most valuable asset is its innovation and IP reserves, and that these will likely become the main source of U.S. competitive and economic strength in the 21st Century. Importantly, the paper warns that these advantages are easily endangered by overzealous attempts to drive patent reform too far and misguided calls to weaken the rights of patent owners.
