GROUPS AND IP


A large-scale approach to both strategic and operational IP matters

The protection and promotion of industrial and intellectual property (IP) for large groups and large corporations with an international dimension is necessary due to by the increase of competition in geographic territorie, which is ever expanding.

Economic barriers are falling gradually (UE, OMC ....) But the "invisible" barriers to industrial and intellectual property remain.

Experience shows that the approach to IP management by these groups is often characterized by:

An approach comprising both strategic and operational IP

The existence of internal IP services, which are smaller or less important

A network of foreign correspondents

A number of portfolios??? (Marks, Designs, patents, domain names ...)

A number of high internal stakeholders in the organisation, known as "internal customers"

The need to invest heavily in technical infrastructure and information systems to manage information
 
An arbitration period between outsourcing of certain activities???
 
The involvement of purchasing departments in decision-making in the context of calls regarding the acquisition of services in the area of IP???
