Dear Madam,
I read with interest your article (The perils of patent outsourcing, India Business Law Journal, volume 2, issue 10) on the benefits and potential risks of outsourcing patent work. While there are risks to outsourcing this type of work, the risks are analogous to those faced by companies outsourcing financial services/research, payroll, information technology and even call centre services.
Many of the companies playing the above-mentioned spaces have access to social security numbers, private placement information, mergers and acquisitions information and so on. This information has similar liability as that of patentable technology if compromised.
Outsourcing companies today have infrastructure, privacy and confidentiality policies and training in place to address these stringent privacy requirements. LPO providers are no different.
