Intellectual Property Management in R&D Collaborations

The Case of the Service Industry Sector

Beschreibung

With this work, Martin Bader examines how companies can take an int- lectual property lead during the early stages of inter-firm research and - velopment (R&D) collaborations. Previously, little research has inves- gated the management of patents in the early phases of the innovation process. Furthermore, there is a dearth of research on patent management in the service industry sector, in which intellectual property management remains a new concept. Bader offers a detailed examination of the process by considering the service industry sector and analyzes a current, relevant, complex problem prominent in management research. The research at hand stems from two phenomena, both of which are based on knowledge gains achieved in the area of intellectual property management in recent years. First, the number of announced patent app- cations has increased by 20-30% per year - even without considering multiple patent registrations in several countries. Second, the number of collaborative agreements in the innovation process has simultaneously - creased. However, many R&D collaborations eventually turn out to be - successful, so the question arises: To whom does the intellectual property generated by a collaboration belong? This ownership often is decided and specified during the early phases of the R&D process.

From the reviews:

"This book of about two hundred and seventy pages examines the complex and challenging problem of how companies can take an intellectual property lead within research and development (R&D) collaborations. ... He compiled a typology for managing intellectual property in R&D collaborations which is deemed to be very useful for the reader. ... Bader's book in my view is a must for both practitioners and scientists dealing with or being interested in R&D collaborations." (Christian Heush, Licensing Executives Society, December, 2006)

"The book makes a valuable addition to the study of IP management, which can be usefully read by both academics and practitioners. For the former it provides an academic study informed by practical experience and for the latter an academic approach to interpreting practice. The book has 297 pages comprising eight chapters and an executive summary. ... if you are interested in IP management and service industry R&D collaboration, you should read this book." (Robert H. Pitkethly, R&D Management, Vol. 37 (5), 2007)
