Getting the Most From Your Patents

Abstract

OVERVIEW:R&D managers must adjust their thinking and actions to the new U.S. patent scenario that has evolved since 1982. Patents are now more easily enforced, with teeth that include both injunctions and large damage awards. High-profile research management issues like global technology competition, quality and strategic linkage of technology programs all have important patent components. To enhance your global competitiveness, learn how to extract competitive intelligence from worldwide patent filings. Use quality tools to examine and improve your patenting systems and processes. And finally, as you link your technology programs to your corporate vision and strategies, don't forget to also integrate a patent strategy. It will help to maintain your competitive advantage.
