This book was released on 1993-01-15 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, a Roundtable committee, in conjunction with the Industrial Research Institute, developed a set of model agreements to streamline the negotiation process. The intent was that these models would decrease the time and effort needed to develop a research agreement, as well as provide a starting point for companies and universities new to negotiating agreements. In general, the models were well received by the academic and industrial communities. However, one concern, intellectual property rights, continues to pose significant hurdles to successful negotiation. Intellectual Property Rights in Industry-Sponsored University Research: Guide to Alternatives for Research Agreements identifies the contentious issues related to intellectual property rights and develops contract language that makes it easier to negotiate agreements for industry-sponsored university research. This report clarifies issues that cross institutional boundaries when university-industry research agreements are negotiated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will be a useful resource for those studying or teaching the management of IP. . . a welcome addition on the reading list for all good IP management courses. Duncan Bucknell, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice This book brings together innovative contributions on the management of intellectual property (IP) and intellectual property rights by an esteemed and multi-disciplinary group of economists, management scientists, accountants and lawyers. Offering a broad and enlightening picture of the measurement and management of IP, the contributors argue that the shift towards a knowledge-based economy has increased the importance of IP and more generally, intangible assets, as a focus for company decision-making behaviour. The book explores these intangible assets, which are driven by investments in R&D, marketing, education and training, management information systems and organizational structure. The inherent risk in the development of such assets born from the involvement of creativity and innovation is also discussed. The Management of Intellectual Property should prove of use to both students of management and managers in the field who have to make decisions with regard to investments in, and the protection of, IP and other intangible assets.

Book excerpt: Joint ownership often occurs in connection with collaborative innovation and is of particular relevance to EU-funded programmes, joint ventures and, more generally, to any research project involving co-development of intellectual property (IP). In these situations, collaborating partners often disregard to regulate the allocation of ownership with regard to the intellectual property that has been co-developed, which can generate disputes and even lead to litigations, with all the inconveniences linked to legal proceedings. This fact sheet aims to highlight the most essential IP issues to be addressed contractually, when handling jointly owned assets. By ensuring that ownership, protection and defence of the generated IP are correctly allocated, collaborative projects have a better chance to be efficiently implemented and possible lawsuits between partners can be avoided.
Download or read book Intellectual Property Strategy written by John Palfrey and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a flexible and creative approach to intellectual property can help an organization accomplish goals ranging from building market share to expanding an industry. Most managers leave intellectual property issues to the legal department, unaware that an organization's intellectual property can help accomplish a range of management goals, from accessing new markets to improving existing products to generating new revenue streams. In this book, intellectual property expert and Harvard Law School professor John Palfrey offers a short briefing on intellectual property strategy for corporate managers and nonprofit administrators. Palfrey argues for strategies that go beyond the traditional highly restrictive “sword and shield” approach, suggesting that flexibility and creativity are essential to a profitable long-term intellectual property strategy—especially in an era of changing attitudes about media. Intellectual property, writes Palfrey, should be considered a key strategic asset class. Almost every organization has an intellectual property portfolio of some value and therefore the need for an intellectual property strategy. A brand, for example, is an important form of intellectual property, as is any information managed and produced by an organization. Palfrey identifies the essential areas of intellectual property—patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret—and describes strategic approaches to each in a variety of organizational contexts, based on four basic steps. The most innovative organizations employ multiple intellectual property approaches, depending on the situation, asking hard, context-specific questions. By doing so, they achieve both short- and long-term benefits while positioning themselves for success in the global information economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States patent system has become sand rather than lubricant in the wheels of American progress. Such is the premise behind this provocative and timely book by two of the nation's leading experts on patents and economic innovation. Innovation and Its Discontents tells the story of how recent changes in patenting--an institutional process that was created to nurture innovation--have wreaked havoc on innovators, businesses, and economic productivity. Jaffe and Lerner, who have spent the past two decades studying the patent system, show how legal changes initiated in the 1980s converted the system from a stimulator of innovation to a creator of litigation and uncertainty that threatens the innovation process itself. In one telling vignette, Jaffe and Lerner cite a patent litigation campaign brought by a a semi-conductor chip designer that claims control of an entire category of computer memory chips. The firm's claims are based on a modest 15-year old invention, whose scope and influenced were broadened by secretly manipulating an industry-wide cooperative standard-setting body. Such cases are largely the result of two changes in the patent climate, Jaffe and Lerner contend. First, new laws have made it easier for businesses and inventors to secure patents on products of all kinds, and second, the laws have tilted the table to favor patent holders, no matter how tenuous their claims. After analyzing the economic incentives created by the current policies, Jaffe and Lerner suggest a three-pronged solution for restoring the patent system: create incentives to motivate parties who have information about the novelty of a patent; provide multiple levels of patent review; and replace juries with judges and special masters to preside over certain aspects of infringement cases. Well-argued and engagingly written, Innovation and Its Discontents offers a fresh approach for enhancing both the nation's creativity and its economic growth.

Download or read book Intellectual Property Ownership in Coupled Open Innovation Processes written by Arina Gorbatyuk and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open innovation (OI) is high on the commercial and political agenda. It revolves around R&D partnerships, set up to keep up with rapid technological developments. In negotiating such R&D partnerships, the allocation of intellectual property (IP) ownership, in particular patent ownership and trade secret control, is a difficult task. The lack of harmonization of IP law leads to challenges both for collaborating parties and third parties. Many legal patent systems, for instance, impose co-ownership as a default regime for jointly developed technologies. However, under such a regime the exploitation rights may significantly vary and may prescribe the consent of other owners in the case of use, licensing and sale of co-owned patents. These consent requirements may harm the interests of collaborating parties and complicate future exploitation of the technology concerned. To avoid this complexity, parties can establish their own applicable rules. The allocation of trade secret control, on the other hand, is only done on a contractual basis, as legislators do not foresee any default rules on the matter. Typically, the confidential nature of contracts will preclude third parties from obtaining information needed as a basis for initiating an OI process, such as licensing. Neither the default regime, nor the contract-based regime provides the necessary level of transparency and legal certainty to secure the smooth exploitation of jointly developed patents and trade secrets and future engagement in OI for both collaborating parties and third parties. The present paper examines the current IP framework for coupled OI processes in great depth. In addition, this paper reviews recent legislative initiatives to improve legal certainty and transparency, both at the national and EU level, and lists a number of potential legislative measures that could be imposed to further strengthen the legislative framework.
