I join everyone at the Pearson Strategy Group in thanking these men and women for their service and contributions toward the freedoms that define our nation.

As a company, you rely on your point of difference; great ideas that set your brand apart from the crowd really are the key to success. With this being the case, one can never underestimate the importance of patents. When companies head down the path of protecting intellectual property, they tend to focus on the idea itself – rather than the possibilities the idea presents.
