A recent search of Amazon.com generated more than 2200 publications related to intellectual property. The publications covered a broad array of subjects including law, valuation, licensing, finance, management, and globalization. While this finding is illustrative of an expanding interest in intellectual property, the area of IP finance in particular is rapidly evolving and has the potential for significant growth.
