The Taskforce operates under the direction, guidance and integrity of the non-profit corporation, Center for Advanced Technologies. The Taskforce encourages private initiatives, helps obtain funding, coordinates and sponsors research and educates member companies in the tasks required to become more competitive in the exercise of IP commerce, Intangible value definition, reporting and SARBOX compliance. It also works to create the national economic infrastructure that can provide the platform to enable government to overcome the policy and parochial impediments of IP and IA asset valuation and management so critical to Capital Markets and investor decisions.
