Corporations appear to be mesmerized by the revenue value of intellectual assets to the exclusion of other attributes thereof. Moreover, empirical evidence suggests that corporate lawyers share this perception, primarily conceptualizing of intellectual assets as a means of generating corporate wealth. This over-promotion of revenue value has wide ranging effects. Specifically, this example of willful blindness on the part of corporations and corporate lawyers is a potential stumbling block for the appropriate utilization of corporate intellectual assets as well as the development of intellectual property regimes and academic discourse. These negative effects stem directly from the misguided corporate perception of intellectual assets as primarily revenue value.
