intellectual property theft Explanation: Whether installed on a PC or embedded in high-value hardware, software applications contain the sensitive information and intellectual property (IP) that defines how an application or device functions. It is critical to the success of any software publisher that this proprietary information is safe from prying eyes, manipulation, and theft. Software pirates, competitors, and customers pose a risk to the security and ultimately the profitability of your business. - See more at: http://www.safenet-inc.com/software-monetization/ip-protecti... |

Reference: know-how in comparison w/ intellectual property Reference information: ... in the field (area) of application software It can be understood as part of IP, but it's not used in legal terms unless defined/specified. So if it's not defined separately in your text, I wouldn't use "know-how" theft. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/white_collar/ipr/ipr IPT: It’s robbing people of their ideas, inventions, and creative expressions—what’s called intellectual property—everything from trade secrets and proprietary products and parts to movies and music and software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know-how Definition of industrial know-how Know-how can be defined as confidentially held, or better, 'closely held' information in the form of unpatented inventions, formulae, designs, drawings, procedures and methods, together with accumulated skills and experience in the hands of a licensor firm's professional personnel which could assist a transferee/licensee of the object product in its manufacture and use and bring to it a competitive advantage. It can be further supported with privately maintained expert knowledge on the operation, maintenance, use/application of the object product and of its sale, usage or disposition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know-how The inherent proprietary value of know-how lies embedded in the legal protection afforded to trade secrets in general law, particularly, 'case law'.[3] Know-how, in short, is "private intellectual property". The 'trade secret law' varies from country to country, unlike the case for patents, trademarks and copyright where there are formal 'conventions' through which subscribing countries grant the same protection to the 'property' as the others; examples of which are the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), under United Nations, a supportive organization designed "to encourage creative activity, [and] to promote the protection of intellectual property throughout the world". |
