Major corporate transitions are never easy. Whether it's an employee departure (key executive, large workforce reduction or others) or a corporate transaction (merger, acquisition, divesture), there are lots of risk factors to a company every time a major transition takes place. During such transitions, one such risk factor that oftentimes goes undetected is the vulnerability of your organization's valuable IP. Employment agreements and data security can only get you so far without a comprehensive proactive plan. In fact, according to a survey by The Ponemon Institute and Symantec, nearly 60 percent of people who had recently left or lost their jobs admitted to taking confidential company information on their way out the door. The most common example of this information vulnerability is the theft of trade secrets such as personal contact information, customer lists, pricing information and business procedures but in the case of these corporate transitions, it could also include other types of IP, such as the misappropriation of copyrights, trademarks and patents. The loss of sales, the expense of legal fees and the time of tracking down and recovering stolen IP are only some of the examples this loss of IP can harm a company.
