Open Innovation and Intellectual property
The increased interest by businesses in more collaborative research and development to achieve innovation that leverages external relationships has led to questions over the role of Intellectual Property (IP) and the best approach to manage the commercial exploitation of the investment in innovation, reputation and creativity. In my talk I explore the nature of IP in the context of open innovation and what strategies firms adopt to manage IP.
