Property rights patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and licensing is essential. Establishing
appropriate internal policies from the outset can prevent companies from learning a costly
and painful lesson in the courtroom. With Intellectual Property in the Food Technology Industry,

consider throughout the various creative phases of a product's lifespan from initial research and
development initiatives through post-production.
Readers will have an understanding of the

reduce potential problems, and guidelines for future considerations to reduce legal spending,
prevent IP theft, and allow for greater profitability from corporate innovation and inventiveness.
