Quantum technologies are moving forward in a situation where many of the usual reference points for IP strategy are still unstable. Dominant architectures are not yet settled. Commercial applications are still emerging. Market structures are forming u ...

The original 360° IP Strategy treated patent monitoring as a central function of integrated IP management. Patent publications were not merely legal documents to archive. They were indicators of technological competition, sources of technical knowledg ...

GreenTech is often described through technologies: batteries, hydrogen systems, recycling processes, clean mobility, smart grids, carbon capture, low-carbon materials or digital energy platforms. But this picture is incomplete. The decisive question i ...

Quantum technology is no longer only a topic for research programmes, scientific roadmaps and long-term technology foresight. It is moving rapidly into the world of commercialisation, investment, industrial application and strategic positioning. That ...

MedTech used to be a comparatively easy word to understand. A medical device had a physical form. It could be inspected, described in mechanical, electrical or material terms, compared with prior art, patented, challenged, cleared for launch and monit ...

Mechatronic systems are no longer only about the integration of mechanics, electronics and software into a functional component. In robotics and autonomous systems, they increasingly become intelligent subsystems that sense, interpret, decide and act ...

From industry signals to focused conversations Corporate IP management is changing under pressure from several directions at once. Technological acceleration, increasing information volumes, tighter resources, and rising expectations from business fun ...

Europe does not lack innovation activity. Across universities, startups, scale-ups, research institutes, industrial ecosystems and public funding programs, new technologies are being developed at impressive speed. Artificial intelligence, quantum tech ...

Robotics and autonomous systems are no longer only about machines that execute predefined tasks. They are increasingly becoming connected operating environments in which hardware, autonomy software, sensors, AI models, operational data, safety logic, ...

IP controlling must go beyond counting patents, filings or renewals. In digital business models, strategic value often lies in software, data, interfaces, workflows, contracts and ecosystem positions. The key question is therefore not how much IP a co ...
