To prevail in the complex battle for intellectual property protection in alliances, managers must recognize the intrusive practices of predatory partners and implement effective protective practices that their partners cannot easily outsmart. Our research and interviews with executives offer insights into six protective practices that counter the intrusive practices off alliance partners. We identify a paradox whereby a company that may rely on protection for its proprietary knowledge may in fact train its partner how to better protect their own knowledge in subsequent alliances.

Abstract

To prevail in the complex battle for intellectual property protection in alliances, managers must recognize the intrusive practices of predatory partners and implement effective protective practices that their partners cannot easily outsmart. Our research and interviews with executives offer insights into six protective practices that counter the intrusive practices off alliance partners. We identify a paradox whereby a company that may rely on protection for its proprietary knowledge may in fact train its partner how to better protect their own knowledge in subsequent alliances.
