▲Rapid IP Strategy Development ¶
From the article:“The time it takes to develop a good IP strategy depends on the complexity of the situation or issue. We can’t make IP strategy development immediate and still be useful, but we can make it more efficient, especially when pulling together a team to develop the strategy. So here are some tips that can help shorten the time it takes to develop a good strategy.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, February, 2009▲Reading Patents in Depth, Part 2 of 2 ¶
From the article:“The first installment of this article discussed “active” reading; understanding the structure of a patent publication; and understanding why certain words were used and others were not. This conclusion addresses how to obtain technical information.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, Volume 9, Number 3, August, 2008▲Reading Patents in Depth, Part 1 of 2 ¶
From the article:“Getting information from patents remains a basic task for patent professionals and inventors, but rarely are any tips for reading patents available. Missing some patent detail is not only frustrating, but it can severely impact patenting strategy.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, Volume 9, Number 2, July, 2008▲The Technical Professional’s Role in IP Strategy ¶
From the article:“Engineers, scientists, and other technical professionals “make or break” the development of IP strategy in industry. It is not uncommon to develop IP strategy by drawing in a number of technical experts to work with decision makers and an IP agent or attorney to develop a strategy that others will implement. For example, sometimes an IP strategy for a new invention or new technology is to be developed, or the business wishes to develop an IP strategy to support the growth of new products. In such instances, it is helpful to consider how to select the technical experts to assist this strategic effort.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, Volume 8, Number 3, August, 2007▲Efficient Training on Specific IP Issues ¶
From the article:“An excellent time to provide training to a client organization is when the client asks for guidance on IP strategy. In many cases, a client develops an IP strategy due to the desire to approach a specific business need in a planned and proactive manner. This specific business need can be, for example, a new invention, a new competitor, or a new development with another company.”

From the article:“Preconceived opinions, or prejudice, by inventors and clients can have a significant impact on the filing of patents and the development of intellectual property (“IP”) strategy. Here we are talking about opinions that are formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge about a subject is obtained. This prejudice is common, ranging from the most basic tasks that IP professionals routinely handle to subtle prejudice in strategy development that goes undetected and that can permeate and derail the success of the technology development. It is useful to identify some of the types of these opinions and how IP professionals might handle them.”

From the article:“Researchers and technology managers may not deal with IP every day like IP professionals do, but they are still exposed to all sorts of patent strategy tools, especially when they are attempting to develop a patent strategy for a business. The advertisements for these tools typically imply that life would be so much simpler if only they used the vendor’s latest and greatest tool. Many of these tools are very useful; however, most tools also have limitations. Having a framework from which to evaluate these tools is therefore helpful to researchers and managers.”

From the article:“Many technically intensive companies utilize patent liaisons to augment their intellectual property (IP) work. Patent liaisons work with patent attorneys and inventors and can have a wide variety of job responsibilities, thereby helping to provide additional trained “legal” resources to a business in a very economical manner.”

From the article:“It is important for a patent attorney to be able to quickly and effectively advise a client who is filing a large number of international patent applications as to where such patent applications should be filed. One tool that can be useful in such situations is a ‘country template’.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, Volume 4, Number 3, July, 2003▲Help Clients Broaden Their Strategic Thinking ¶
From the article:“Perhaps the most important issue facing an inventor is the possibility that competitive patents may dominate his new invention. Surprisingly, inventors rarely consider this issue.”

Patent Strategy & Management, Law Journal Newsletters, Volume 3, Number 2, June, 2002▲Educating Organizations About Basic Patent Strategy ¶
From the article:“Few inventors receive the training necessary to fully exploit intellectual property. Such training can teach clients what is required to obtain a patent and the importance of knowing and distinguishing over the prior art. This understanding ultimately diffuses into research programs and leads to better information for patent applications and more strategic patent estates.”

From the article:“What does ‘strategy’ mean in the context of patents? How do the implications of that term relate to the routines of the patent system? … An American expert, Jackson Knight, describes a strategy model for patent practice in day-to-day commercial operations.”
