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.
