In some cases these partnerships are simple open innovation type agreements where others are more complex. In most cases Intellectual Property (IP) becomes an issue. Many high-tech companies fail to leverage their IP in setting up the agreements and further, many of the most innovative high-tech companies fail to fully capitalise on their intellectual assets because they do not create, manage and leverage their intellectual property (IP) strategically. The common ‘ad hoc’ processes for IP management capture only a small fraction of a company’s valuable intellectual assets, leaving little that can be leveraged strategically to generate business value. The processes we will discuss have been extracted from the world’s IP experts over the last 20 years and made efficient for implementation. The process starts with developing a visual representation of your unique ‘business landscape,’ which is used to extract, map, and analyse your IP against the relevant competitive IP. From the landscape, the IP strategist defines the desired ‘IP end-states’ and ‘IP tactics’ that should be used to execute a powerful IP strategy. When installed in your company, these processes improve and communicate your competitive advantage, demonstrate your IP protection, enhance brand, define licensing opportunities, and maximise your position in any transaction. Only 10 places remain. Register at www.regonline.co.uk/leveraging_open_innovation £50 + VAT for EKTN Members (£100 for non-members). |
