Our friends at CPA Global are updating their popular "State of IP" report for 2010. What's IP? That's Intellectual Property for those of us that didn't succumb to law school torture.

The rights to your applications, technologies, and even the processes you follow is a big hot button for technology. Apple recently sued HTC, the maker of Google's new mobile phone claiming they 'stole' Apple look and feel technologies....... Huh? HTC has made Smartphones for almost 15 years? Welcome to the fuzzy world of IP.

This survey isn't for everyone, you should only forward to your in-house counsel or external law firm (make sure they're off the clock first). Last year's report (available here) provided some great insights for legal teams as well as senior executives.

The 2010 survey closes April 26th. Click here for survey
