Hidden Value is the only publication in which key IP owners, industry leaders and decision-makers have been brought together with lawyers and accountants to address one of the most important issues facing business leaders at the beginning of the new millennium. EXTRACT: "Until very recently, most serious investors and corporate executives had little or no perspective about intellectual property. They were content toleave that side of the business to in-house and private practice legal advisers. But then in the early 1980s something happened. Technology stocks got hot, patent filings increased and revenue derived from IP skyrocketed. From 1990 to 1997 royalty revenues for US patents increased more than six-fold, from about $15 billion to more than $100 billion. Moreover, there is every indication that this trend is just beginning and that by 2010, the 1990s could look like the steam age. Bill Gates, co-founder and CEO of Microsoft and one of the richest men in the world, told The Washington Post that patents are "the new gold rush". Microsoft, with only a handful of patents to date, is itself rushing to establish an IP portfolio. The software company was issued 199 US patents in 1997. While Microsoft's book value is around $90 billion, its market capitalization or market value is hovering around $270 billion. The $180 billion dollar discrepancy has been attributed primarily to IP assets, including trademarks, patents, trade secrets and know-how."
