Abstract:
Business use of the Internet has increased dramatically.
New technologies and procedures involving Intellectual
Property and Electronic Commerce will revolutionize the
marketing of products and other business transactions.
Intellectual Property Assets are expensive to develop
and with electronic mediums can be disseminated widely,
with or without the owner's approval, in minimal time
and minimal cost. Electronic Commerce transactions must
be secure and must be integrated into an organization's
marketing and information dissemination procedures.
Without controls in place the assets and information can
be pilfered or misused without the owner's knowledge.
The following is a brief discourse into the subject
matter and will provide a beginning point into
understanding these two complex subjects.
