Description

"Unseen Wealth suggests ways in which government and businesses can work together to improve the quality and reliability of information about intangibles. The contributors recommend a three-pronged set of reforms that includes: 1) support from the government for more reliable, sensible business and reporting models, 2) increased guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and 3) adjustments in intellectual property rights laws to increase the certainty of legal protection for patents, trademarks, and trade secrets.". "Over time, this report argues, better information on intangibles will lead to better resource allocation decisions, as well as greater stability and fairness in capital markets."--BOOK JACKET.
