Prediction, in context:In a 1991 article for the journal The Computer Lawyer, David Hayes discusses intellectual property. He writes: ”An intellectual property audit can provide an invaluable mechanism for companies owning intellectual property assets, companies desiring to acquire such assets from a third party, and creditors lending to technology-based companies to determine the ownership, scope and status of intellectual property rights. As intellectual property rights continue to grow in importance in the information age, intellectual property audits should become a more and more vital tool.”
