New Web site provides IP resources.

Traversing the complexities of intellectual property can be downright mind-boggling, particularly if a company doesn't have in-house-IP expertise. Yet, with innovations representing some of a company's most valuable assets, understanding patents, trademarks and copyrights is imperative.

To simplify the situation, Findlaw.com has launched the Intellectual Property Center . The new site presents a substantial amount of free resources, including how to obtain, enforce, and protect patents and trademark rights. It also directs users to other helpful resources, such as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
