Business Law Today highlighted comments from Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice Co-chair Scott Lashway, who spoke on a panel at the American Bar Association Business Law Fall Meeting in September. Discussing the role of intellectual property in business transactions, the panel addressed important considerations for the various types of IP, distinguishing the less concrete "lowercase ip" from the more formalized "uppercase IP."
