IP Strategy Implementation

To implement the IP strategy you have decided upon means to take the necessary actions to make it diffuse through your organization and gain ownership of it.

Transforming the strategy document into actions and measures

The complexity of this transfer varies depending on purpose, technology, size and maturity of your business. These are some of the actions to take when you aim at a successful and sustainable implementation:

• In order to gain ownership throughout the organization, clearly articulate how the IP strategy supports your business goals and make them measurable
• Identify the types of IP needed for any given innovation, eg conventional patent, trade secrets, defensive publications
• Align and install internal and external processes to make sure that input to your patent or other IP activities, such as drafting and filings, are aligned with your chosen business strategy
• Educate your innovators and inventors in IP awareness
• Perform IP landscape analyses of your IP and that of your competitors on a regular basis
• Enforce your IP vs other IP and against eg piracy and counterfeiting
• Extract and measure the value of IP, e.g. through licensing agreements
