The session covered real-world examples, including Ather Energy’s success in using IP to control its ecosystem and build brand value, and introduced five key questions every business should be able to answer to demonstrate IP readiness to investors and partners. From securing ownership and aligning IP with product development to managing risk and unlocking economic value, this webinar was packed with insights to help you rethink the role of IP in your organization.

Whether you’re a startup preparing for funding or a growing company scaling internationally, building a strong IP foundation is critical. The shift from “IP as a legal formality” to “IP as a value driver” can help you gain investor trust, improve your market positioning, and ensure long-term business success in a competitive environment.

More specifically, the webinar addressed the following main topics:

What are the challenges surrounding patent collaboration?

• Visibility and Accessibility: Difficulties in ensuring that all stakeholders have visibility and access to relevant IP data, potentially leading to information silos.
• Task Management: Challenges in creating, assigning, and tracking tasks effectively without a streamlined workflow, which may result in missed deadlines or overlooked responsibilities.
• Communication Overheads: Increased communication overhead due to poor integration of communication tools (e.g., triggering mails, setting reminders) within the IP management workflow.

Solutions

Solutions were proposed on how to get everyone involved depending on if the user prefers a centralized or decentralized approach in the patent folder organization.  

Dimitris Giannoccaro did a live demonstration of the IamIP platform  presenting the benefits of collaboration and how the users of IamIP can achieve it effectively and with ease. Some of the featured showcased were: workflows, sharing function, taggings, ranking and custom solutions. The demonstration took into consideration the two approaches: centralized and decentralized and presented a structured storage as well.

The post Unlocking Innovation: Building Your Company’s Patent and Technology Database with IamIP appeared first on IamIP.

The co-hosts of the webinar and patent experts, Dimitris Giannoccaro and Claes Pantzar discuss practical solutions for executing IP actions to reduce the risk of infringement and unnecessary duplication. How can you create input for a future clearance report that gives the company the confidence of Freedom to Operate (FTO)? The webinar outlines essential IP questions to incorporate into the phase gate model and stresses the significance of continuous monitoring and collaboration. 

More specifically, the webinar addressed the following main topics.  

Why do we need to implement a correct development process?  

• Avoid infringement.  

Check that we are not infringing other patents and take remedy actions. 

• Block others 

Protect the innovative and business-relevant aspects which are developed in the project. 

• Other duties 

Ensure the project team has proper IP awareness, uphold secrecy agreements with partners and customers, and identify opportunities/needs for licensing in.

Using IP information is saving engineering time & costs 

What is the development process: 

• Pre- project stage 

Feasibility check. 

• Development Stage 

Definition of novel features. 

• Pre-production stage 

Produce test and evaluation prior to production.  

• New Product 

Phase Gate Model

When questioned, more than half of our attendees replied that they don’t use a phase gate model. During the webinar a use case for the phase gate mode was presented, using six gates.  

In short, a phase gate model and be divided into three different stages: 

1. Ideation, Scoping & Business Case 

2. Development 

3. Commercialization

The presentation included a brief overview of the 100-year history of Trumpf, an insight into the development of an in-house office and the company’s work with the IamIP platform. Mr. Daniel Knauer particularly addresses the area of third-party protection monitoring and the sorting and management of relevant and irrelevant hits. A highlight of the presentation is the presentation of the centralized approach in the work with a global portfolio. The presentation also gives an insight into the importance of cooperation between different departments and especially the cooperation between R&D and the patent departments.

In summary, you will get ideas on the IP strategy of an in-house law firm, processes and cooperation of a large company and solutions for third-party protection monitoring.
