IP Strategies supporting key market segments provide effective direction for R&D. The point of developing the frameworks for IP Strategies is to prioritize R&D opportunities based on cross-functional input- technical, IP legal and market input must be considered. An IP strategy-driven organization results from business initiating, technical driving, and cross-functional team participating and providing resources to establish and maintain key processes.
This course is designed to provide enough background for participants to begin developing processes for IP strategy execution. It will include guidance on specific training on IP for the organization, the process for managing the patent portfolio, assessing invention quality- for good quality patent applications, and assembling cross-functional teams to understand competitor and customer IP strategies, identify opportunities and execute IP strategy.
We will discuss the challenges of communication of the developing IP strategy to various functions. IP legal, technical and business/ strategic marketing would need a different level of communication to gather input. The course will feature practical examples based on the real-world experiences of the instructor. It will include hands-on break-out sessions that will give participants confidence in applying these concepts.
Upon completion, participants will be able to start developing an understanding of their competitors’ IP strategy and identify opportunities for building IP fences.
