As we said from the beginning, intangible assets such as intellectual property are often overlooked—though less now than ever before. Our hope is that we not only introduced some information that can help you as you serve as a Board member, but also that we provided the “why.”  [Read More](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/intellectual-property-and-boards-of-directors-conclusion-and-next-steps) Categories: [Corporate Venture](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/corporate-venture), [IP Innovation](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/ip-innovation), [R&D](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/rd), [Patents](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/patents), [Boards of Directors](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/topic/boards-of-directors) [Comments (0) | Add a Comment](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/intellectual-property-and-boards-of-directors-conclusion-and-next-steps#comments-listing) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Written by [Joseph Hadzima, Esq., Sr. Lecturer, MIT Sloan School of Management, President and Co-Founder of IPVision](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/author/joseph-hadzima-esq-sr-lecturer-mit-sloan-school-of-management-president-and-co-founder-of-ipvision) ## [Why R&D Spend and Patents Should Be Crucial to Boards of Directors](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/why-rd-spend-and-patents-should-be-crucial-to-boards-of-directors) [![](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/hubfs/IPV%20Blog%20Images-10-1.png) ](https://info.ipvisioninc.com/blog/why-rd-spend-and-patents-should-be-crucial-to-boards-of-directors) For decades, boards of directors held to the adage, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” That standard business expression seemed cut out specifically for intellectual property and other intangible assets.
