EXPERT ALERTS:
The Value of IP Insurance Coverage
"There certainly have been challenges to getting IP insurance to be a widespread means of risk transfer. One of the biggest challenges has been acknowledgement of the existence of the IP insurance market and the value of the coverage. That being said, there has definitely been an increase in demand and submissions for IP insurance. Without a doubt, the increase is being driven by two important trends: 1) the importance of IP in the economy, and 2) the fact that the consumers, the insurance industry and IP law professionals are becoming better educated regarding the shortcomings of other insurance policies. Commercial general liability, professional liability, and directors and officers policies do not provide sufficient coverage for this very valuable asset, intellectual property."

He has been a frequent speaker on the valuation of patents and technology, the taxation of royalty income, intellectual property issues raised by the use and exploitation of the internet, as well as coverage and current trends in the insurance of intellectual property.

Cybersecurity Protects Our Way of Life
"Cybersecurity is not just national security. It's not just espionage. It's economic stability. It's individual privacy. And it really is protecting the global way of life and doing business as usual here in the U.S."

Fast Food Must Shore up Late-Night Security
"Businesses that rely on late-night revenue must focus on customer safety. Convenience stores learned ways to protect customers in the 1970s after adopting extended hours and experiencing the late-night crime that exists practically everywhere. The fast-food industry has been operating under extended hours since the mid-2000s, but many still don't have proper security to protect customers."

Tips for Searching for a Qualified Financial Advisor
Vice President/Senior Advisor
Plenty of people who pass away or become debilitated leave their spouses with overly complicated financial plans, too little information, and no clear instructions about where to turn for help. Says Golkar: "Many individuals with spouses who are disengaged financially take comfort in knowing that their spouse will be able to turn to an advisor after they're gone. If you think your spouse will eventually need to turn to an advisor, it doesn't hurt to begin the search for a qualified advisor while you're still around to help with the screening." Golkar is available to discuss five key ways to make sure that doesn't happen to your family.

Americans in Dire Need of Financial Education Reform
Moneythink
"Needless to say, we are in dire need of financial education reform. Our lack of progress in this area hardly justifies the individual, corporate, and government money spent annually on financial education. To ignite true change, the financial education industry needs to expand its focus from mere knowledge acquisition to actual knowledge application. The industry can achieve knowledge application by cultivating organizations that think practically, take risks, and aim high."
