Innovation, Invention & Intellectual Property The Council on Competitiveness found that a nations prosperity, and the prosperity of individual companies today, is dependent upon their capacity for innovation. George Gilder notes that, the ascendant nations and corporations are masters not of land and material resources but of ideas and technologies. Gordon Smith confirms that, Intellectual Property is the central resource for creating wealth in almost all industries. It is clear that the foundation of commercial power has shifted from capital resources to intellectual property. The companies that survive and thrive will manage innovation, invention and intellectual property as aggressively as yesterdays winners managed land, capital and labor.
