      abstract = {IP law has evolved from being a little pool to a big  ocean. Corporate governance needs to respond to society's  rising expectations of directors and boards as the impact  of the global intellectual property ecosystem is felt. How  can a responsible corporate culture of IP transparency be  stimulated to create a rosy future to connect corporate  communication with the desires of shareholders, investors  and other stakeholders? The astonishing lack of material  quantitative and qualitative information companies report  about their IP assets makes it difficult for shareholders  and other stakeholders to assess directors' stewardship of  those assets - a pressing corporate governance issue in the  21st century. This book advances IP reporting in alignment  with the key corporate governance principles of  transparency and disclosure. It analyses the juncture  between the IP ecosystem; corporate finance and accounting  for intangibles; and corporate governance. Patents,  mini-case studies and an original business triage style  model for assessing IP disclosures are used to illustrate  the gaps corporate governance theory needs to address.  Focussing on the common law tradition of corporate  governance in England and Wales, intangibles and IP  reporting developments in other jurisdictions are also  explored.},
