A company's intellectual property — patents, ideas, products, documents or just employee know-how—could be more valuable than its physical assets. The formal definition, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization is creations of the mind - inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. IP includes but is not limited to proprietary formulas and ideas, inventions (products and processes), industrial designs, and geographic indications of source, as well as literary and artistic works such as novels, films, music, architectural designs and web pages.

In the context of IT and Product Development outsourcing, IP protection becomes critical as the outsourcing vendor acquires significant knowledge about the application/product and its internals.

Blue Star Infotech, since inception in 1983, recognizes the risks associated with this and constantly upgrades its internal policies (Recruitment, HR, Security and Infrastructure Management) and procedures to reflect its recognition of the value IP holds for its customers.

Blue Star Infotech constantly takes stock of its IP commitments and refines its strategy for protecting these assets under the guidance of its Executive Committee and Legal Advisory Board.
