For 10 years, Ocean Tomo has served the intellectual property industry as a trusted thought leader. We are proud to continue this tradition with the release of a new 12 part video series titled “Ocean Tomo Insights on the Evolving IP Market.” 

Announced in our 2012 Year End Update, the “Evolving IP Market” series explores the events that lead to the “30 year overnight success” of the intellectual property industry and provides shrewd predictions for its future development.

As my travels as LESI President near an end, I am excited to assist President Elect Kevin Nachtrab and GTIF 2013 Co-Chairs Hector Chagoya (President, LES Mexico) and Martin Schneider (President, LES Switzerland) in planning for the second Global Technology Impact Forum (GTIF) taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, on January 20-22, 2013.

I have long noted that although the U.S. IP market is the envy of the world, not enough attention has been paid to the role of governmental policy to further our leadership edge. This is troubling in light of the oft reported efforts of European, Asian and now the Mid-East efforts to build a technology-based economy using IP as a tool for growth.

Last November, I was interviewed by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). The next five years will be crucial in the development of Asia's intellectual property trade, and the opportunity to be Asia's IP central market is Hong Kong's to capture.
