Corporations are paying more attention to intellectual property (IP) management challenges as they examine their portfolios in quest of a higher return on investment in R&D and technology. In technology-based businesses, managing patents has become a crucial obligation, as well as a crucial component of defending R&D expenditure.
The benefits of patenting have been shown to include blocking, cross-licensing, and the avoidance of legal action in addition to the potential for direct financial gain from the invention. Given the significance and value of patents and intellectual property in general, more and more businesses are realizing the relevance of their IP department.
These divisions have exclusive strategic knowledge of the business units of the companies. In order to benefit from the unique position of the IP Department, an IP Integrated Management System has been proposed.
Important components of the IP Integrated Management System strategy include using the IP department as a knowledge base and a link between R&D and market intelligence. Other studies have concentrated on the legal issues of preserving IP, IP-related decision-making processes, the use of software to help with IP management, and even IP-related compensation schemes.
Intellectual property (IP), intellectual capital, and organizational competencies are essential for boosting business performance and economic success in today’s knowledge-driven economy. Innovations can be fully monetized thanks to intellectual property rights, a vital intellectual asset of the company. It is now a must for organizations to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to manage intellectual property and give it the weight it deserves when making strategic decisions.
Academic research outputs, primarily in the form of research papers, have increased, and commercial return in the form of wealth creation and innovation protection is considered to be both a financial and non-financial motive for expanding innovation in academia. Many of these knowledge centers have definitively defined their vision and strategy in recent decades, and they have also begun to develop cutting-edge skills at the same time. The idea of knowledge generation and transfer is the driving force behind the rising need to integrate educational output with industrial research. However, there have rarely been clear boundaries between research and development projects carried out in academia and industry. The adoption of IPRs and their management are a result of the need to close the gap between academic and industrial research activities.
Ideas, inventions, technology, artwork, music, and literature are all examples of intellectual property (IP), which are intangible at the time of creation but valuable when manifested as concrete goods or services. IP plays a significant role in the knowledge economy and creates monopolies in exchange for rewarding innovation.
The goal of the intellectual property management (IPM) strategy is to create IP, secure it, and use it to gain market share and boost profits. IPM aids businesses in assessing their patent holdings. Even technology start-ups and spin-off businesses nowadays are beginning to commercialize new and existing technologies. However, for an innovation to be successfully commercialized, other skills or resources must be combined with the aforementioned know-how.
In response to these demands, organizations created Intellectual Property Management Systems (IPMS), which guarantee the availability of data and information for strategic decision-making.
A managerial and policy instrument called IPMS aids in building up and preserving the value of a robust IP portfolio. The organization’s many subsystems must contribute to the implementation of the IP strategy, which in turn aids in maintaining the IPM framework and portfolio. Additionally, this activity entails maintaining a patent portfolio, which includes enhancing the flow of possible patents for patent decision processes, managing the cost of the portfolio, valuing the patent, and choosing the best set of conversion mechanisms for extracting value from patents. In general, IPMS has five major areas of accountability, including:
By mapping each IP asset to the firm’s products and services, creating a structure and system for IPM, and disseminating the firm’s IP assets, an IPMS assists in maintaining the complete inventory of an organization’s IP, determining the value of IP assets, estimating expected revenue, and estimating IP’s contribution to the profitability of the organization. Highlights of IPMS are:
IP safeguards a product or service you’ve created that distinguishes you from other businesses and defines your company’s mission and possibilities for expansion. The true worth of IP depends on how well it can be used to give your business a competitive edge in your sector. However, how effectively IP is handled will determine its ability to be leveraged. Here are seven guidelines for creating successful IP management systems if your company wants to make the most of these intangible assets:
In terms of IP development and production, the key features that enhance the efficiency of the IP management system are:
A nation’s economy is strengthened when its research and technological innovations are safeguarded because other nations will buy the new goods and services that their own countries have invented, researched, and created. Since corporations have started to aggressively protect their patent portfolios, IP must be maintained by following the business strategy and innovation processes of the organizations.
For IP to be fully utilized and an intangible asset portfolio to be created, a well-designed system is essential. It is acknowledged that IPMS serves as a support system for the organization’s development and application of a sound IPM. According to published works, organizational strength, competitor strength, and the industry sector in which the organization operates all have a role in the development of IPMS. Building and utilizing an IP-oriented culture in academic institutions is the responsibility of technical institutions. For academic institutions, maximizing intellectual creativity and advancing R&D is essential.
