INNOVATION MANAGEMENT (IMA)
Basic approaches (I)
1. Enthusiastic support of the upper management / boardRole models
Serious message: IP is important not „nice to have“
Appreciation e.g. invitation of inventors
2. IPR is part of the internal value systemClear policy for the legal entity
Values should be ranked equal to knowledge
Key performance indicators (KPI)
3. Experienced staff – professionals at the IPR officeEx scientists as partners at eye level
European patent attorneys and licence engineers
Business developers with industrial background
Professional administration with database
- IPR policy- Regulations for remunerations- Information for inventors
„Tell me how you measure me andI will tell you how I will behave!“
