What would happen if your business were paralyzed by an attack, if your systems were locked by ransomware, or if your trade secrets were exposed? This can lead t...

Reimagining Innovation Protection in IT: Towards Procedures Aligned with Technological Advancements By Patrick HOUYOUX , LL.M. ULB, Brussels, Trinity College, Cambridge, UK. President – Director  PT SYDECO   Introduction In the realm of patents, technological innovations are subject to the same rules as traditional industrial inventions. However, in the field of Information Technology (IT), where advancements occur rapidly and continuously, this traditional framework shows its weaknesses.
