Name:

Capturing Creativity: Intellectual Asset Management and IP Strategy

Provider:

Enterprise Ireland

Description:

This awareness tool is structured around 3 main objectives as follows:

Provide a contextual understanding of Intellectual Property

This provides a top-level understanding of what IP is and why it is important in a business context. It takes account of all different types of IP and presents them in the context of the embodied innovative features of products and services.

Provide a systematic approach to managing innovation leading to the creation of IP.

The tool is intended to be useful to SMEs in different industry sectors and at different stages of development. Therefore, it aims to outline a universal approach. Many SMEs rely too heavily on external expertise and often engage experts too early or too late in the process. The approach outlined in the presentation aims to support companies to recognise the systems and process they can implement themselves and will provide them with the data and internal control necessary to engage with advisors efficiently and at the right time. The 4-tiered framework aims to enable SMEs to compartmentalise different aspects of managing innovation activities across the organisation culminating in IP protection. Thereby, providing a structure for the company’s IP Strategy.

Illustrate how the structure of the IP strategy is aligned with key elements of the business development strategy.

The framework illustrates how each tier of the IA management framework relates to different business development objectives. This alignment enables the company to develop a business led IP Strategy that spans both IP protection and IP exploitation.

Copyright_essentials: The IP Tool is a PDF file with a Factsheet dated September 2017.

Download possible: https://www.iprhelpdesk.eu/Fact-Sheet-Copyright-essentials

This may result in a more recent version, yet currently the saved version in the IP tool is still the valid one.

The factsheet is structured as follows:

Introduction

1. Understanding copyright

1.1. What does copyright protect?

1.2. Copyright protection

1.3. Neighbouring or related rights

1.4. Copyright and other IPRs

1.5. Works in the public domain

2. Copyright and SMEs

2.1. Licensing

2.2. Assignment

2.3. Use of works available on the Internet

3. Copyright infringement

3.1. Remedies

3.2. Copyright exceptions

4. Conclusions

Furthermore, useful resources are cited.

The IP tool “Copyright_essentials” can be used as a sound and compact source of information for SMEs, suitable also for self-study. On the other hand, it can be used by (associated) project partners in One-on-One pilot actions, as a guideline and as give-away to be handed over to the SME. Clearly, it is most recommended for counselling of SMEs in the creative or software field, with copyright often main, at least an important IP topic.

It may also be used in an IP Workshop or an IP Training, devoted to copyright, maybe extended by covering also registered IPR.

The IP tool “IP considerations for trade fair organisers” can be used as a sound and compact source of information for SMEs, suitable also for self-study, although a bit advanced.
