SUBSCRIPTIONS
A six-month subscription to the Intellectual Property Prospector costs
US$575, payable in advance. All subscriptions entered are continued until
canceled.
The conditions for inclusion in the Intellectual Property
Prospector are selected by the editors, because, in their opinion, the
occurrence of such an event or the existence of such a circumstance is a
likely indicator of current or prospective financial or operating
difficulty. There are, however, other reasons why such facts or
circumstances may exist. The inclusion of a profile suggests the
possibility of financial distress or the possibility that the company may be
of interest to firms and individuals interested in identifying intellectual
property for some other reason. Inclusion should not be construed to
represent analysis of the condition of the company or its intellectual
property or a definitive determination that the company is in difficulty.
