This week on IP Think Tank, we discussed: Speed, cost & global consistency; Top 5 CIPO issues and IP issues are business issues

As always, last week ended with IP Think Tank's Global Week in Review - a look at the major intellectual property stories breaking on the internet and blogosphere for the week.

Please do come and join the ongoing conversation, either here at Gathering2.com or at IPThinkTank.

In Speed, cost and global consistency, we looked at these key factors in enforcing IP rights around the world and specifically at global consistency.

In Top 5 things for a CIPO to focus on we analysed the most important things for a person to keep in mind in the incredibly important role of Chief Intellectual Property Officer.

In IP issues are business issues is an interview with European IP Legend Jeremy Phillips and includes some behind-the-scenes comments on what's important in IP for business.
