It is quite common to find US companies that engage in collaborations and development of new intellectual property with business partners. From as large as Proctor & Gamble, to the smallest start-up company, many companies operating in the US actively source part of their capabilities outside of their own company, or related subsidiaries.

featured the former US Deputy Secretary of State, Ambassador Richard Armitage and the Foreign Minister of
Australia, the Hon Alexander Downer, MP.
