Abstract

Increased usage of cloud storage and other networking technologies in knowledge management (KM) systems leave companies vulnerable to loss of proprietary rights as intellectual property law struggles to keep up with these advances. This paper reviews the current legal environment surrounding cloud and collaborative KM, discusses the implications for KM, and makes recommendations for how gaps between legal protection for intellectual property and KM can be overcome/corrected. Additionally, the paper explores how aware KM personnel are of this risk and proposes a further study using the who owns it game.
