From the global geopolitical arena to the smart city, control over knowledge—particularly over data and intellectual property—has become a key battleground for the exercise of economic and political power. For companies and governments alike, control over knowledge—what scholar Susan Strange calls the knowledge structure—has become a goal unto itself. The rising dominance of the knowledge structure is leading to a massive redistribution of power, including from individuals to companies and states. Strong intellectual property rights have concentrated economic benefits in a smaller number of hands, while the “internet of things” is reshaping basic notions of property, ownership, and control. In the scramble to create and control data and intellectual property, governments and companies alike are engaging in ever-more surveillance. The New Knowledge is a guide to and analysis of these changes, and of the emerging phenomenon of the knowledge-driven society. It highlights how the pursuit of the control over knowledge has become its own ideology, with its own set of experts drawn from those with the ability to collect and manipulate digital data. Haggart and Tusikov propose a workable path forward—knowledge decommodification—to ensure that our new knowledge is not treated simply as a commodity to be bought and sold, but as a way to meet the needs of the individuals and communities that create this knowledge in the first place.

Die Grundlagen des Intellectual Property Managements und seine konkrete Umsetzung in Unternehmen werden in diesem Buch praxisnah und verständlich für Nicht-Juristen erklärt. Der Schutz von immateriellen Unternehmensgütern wie Marken, Patenten oder Design wird zunehmend zum Wirtschafts- und Wachstumsfaktor und bietet beträchtliches Erfolgspotenzial. Deshalb gewinnt dieses Thema für das Management immer mehr an Bedeutung. Der Autor analysiert an konkreten Beispielen, wie IP generiert, identifiziert, dokumentiert, mit den gesetzlich dafür vorgesehenen Möglichkeiten geschützt und für den Unternehmenserfolg genutzt werden kann. Beleuchtet werden insbesondere Management- und Strategie-Aspekte im Zusammenhang mit rechtlichen Fragestellungen und ihre Bedeutung für den Unternehmenserfolg. Das Buch bietet Orientierung, sensibilisiert für Fallstricke und liefert Ansätze für Schutzrechtsstrategien.

Das Buch zeigt anhand eindrucksvoller Praxisbeispiele, wie man mit seinen Innovationen eine marktbeherrschende Position erreichen und diese langfristig verteidigen kann. Innovationsmanagement und eine entsprechende IP-Strategie sind die Schlüssel, um in umkämpften Märkten Führungspositionen zu erringen. Intellectual Property (IP) bietet einen Weg, sich im globalen und zunehmend von Digitalisierung geprägten Wettbewerb zu behaupten. Das Ziel ist es, beim eigenen Leistungsangebot eine rechtlich durchsetzbare Exklusivität auf einen Kundennutzen zu besitzen, der auf die Zahlungsbereitschaft beim Kunden trifft. Diese Differenzierung von Wettbewerbsangeboten ist die Grundlage für die Durchsetzung von Premiumpreisen und für die Gestaltung von Marktpositionen. Durch die Entwicklung und Umsetzung einer 360° IP-Strategie wird genau bestimmt, an welchen Stellen im Geschäftsmodell angesetzt werden muss: - Praxisorientierte, mittelstandstaugliche Methoden und Werkzeuge, um den technischen Vorsprung langfristig auszubauen und zu sichern - Kundenorientierung als Schlüssel für Innovationen und deren Sicherung - Gezielte Herstellung des IP, das im angestrebten Geschäftsmodell wirklich zum Tragen kommt

Christian Stauf geht der Frage nach, wie Unternehmen Innovationen bestmöglich schützen und verwerten können. Dazu entwickelt er einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz, der die Auswahl des Schutzinstrumentariums als Kernelement begreift und das gesamte Spektrum an juristischen und faktischen Instrumenten in das Kalkül einbezieht. Das Produktdesign hebt er dabei als wesentlichen Baustein heraus und analysiert die Vorteilhaftigkeit der hierfür infrage kommenden Schutzmöglichkeiten. Ziel ist es, Entscheidungsträgern sowohl die Notwendigkeit als auch die Potenziale eines ganzheitlichen Intellectual Property Managements zu vermitteln und dabei eine Brücke zwischen den ökonomischen und den rechtlichen Aspekten der Thematik zu schlagen.

This report, created by Dr. Christina Wainikka for KreaNord in 2011, is part of the OECD initiative, “SME Innovation and Management of Intellectual Assets in Selected Creative and Manufacturing Industries”. It conveys research on IPRs from the creative industries that came out as a result of the Nordic initiative. In addition to the results from the OECD, the following insights can be found in the Nordic version: “What purposes IPR could serve within the creative industries?”, “What could be protected – and how?”, and “Conclusions regarding who could/should do what in the field of IPRs”. Republished in 2015 following the end of KreaNord, the Nordic Council of Ministers'initiative on cultural and creative industries (2008–2015).

This book explores how the entire toolbox of intellectual property (IP) protection and management are successfully combined and how firms generate value from IP. It provides a framework of archetypes which firms will be able to self-identify with and which will allow companies to focus on the IP and IP Management issues most relevant to them.

Das Management geistigen Eigentums ist für den Erfolg eines Unternehmens unerlässlich und etabliert sich als eine eigenständige unternehmerische Aufgabe. Es beschäftigt sich mit der technologiebezogenen Entscheidungsfindung hinsichtlich der mit geistigem Eigentum verbundenen Fragen in Unternehmen. Dazu gehören in erster Linie die technischen Schutzrechte (Patent und Gebrauchsmuster), darüber hinaus jedoch auch das Marken- und Designrecht, der Schutz von Unternehmensgeheimnissen, der Technologieschutz, der Technologietransfer sowie als – übergreifende Aufgabe – die anlassbezogene Identifikation der erforderlichen technologiebezogenen Informationen.Als interdisziplinäre Aufgabe baut das Technologieverwertungsrecht auf rechtswissenschaftlichen Grundlagen auf und formuliert daraus allgemeine Lösungsansätze für ein Unternehmen im Umgang mit eigenem und fremdem geistigen Eigentum.

For many knowledge-intensive or technology-based start-up companies, the professional management of intellectual property (IP) is critically important. In fact, IP may be the main asset by which the value of a young company is determined and on which decisions to invest in the company are based – and so IP needs to be considered very early in the planning process. The Commercialising Intellectual Property series of ebooks provides a detailed grounding for innovators and researchers. The first ebook in the series, Protecting Your Innovation: Forms of Intellectual Property, sets intellectual property rights firmly in the context of commercialisation of innovative research and explains the various forms of protection available.

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.

In today's turbulent global economy, companies establish competitive advantage by creating the most exciting ideas and taking them to market. To sustain this competitive advantage and thrive long term, innovative companies must use intellectual property to protect their valuable ideas. iProperty explores the intellectual property strategies and tactics used by successful companies to protect ideas. It answers the question,'If I'm serious about strategically deploying intellectual property in a way that benefits my bottom line, what should I do on Monday morning to make that happen?'Too often, books dealing with strategy remain high-level and vague, while intellectual property books frequently bog the reader down in the intricacies of patent laws and regulations.

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.
