The original 360° IP Strategy argued that IP culture is revealed by the way an organisation thinks and acts, not by the number of patents displayed in a reception area. A company whose IP process begins only when an engineer submits an invention discl ...

For many IP experts, the idea that “good work should speak for itself” is not a naive belief. It comes from a professional culture built on precision, substance and responsibility. In intellectual property, credibility is earned through technical dept ...

A growing number of developments in the photonics market point to a structural mismatch. Companies are no longer developing only isolated lenses, lasers, optical sensors or specialised laboratory equipment. They are building light-based technology sys ...

The original 360° IP Strategy already contained a management-system idea, even before today’s standards gave it a formal structure. IP should not begin with the right itself or with the administrative needs of a patent department. It should begin with ...

Quantum technology is no longer only a matter of scientific promise. It is becoming a field of engineering choices, commercial roadmaps, investment decisions and international protection strategies. As quantum computing, quantum communication and quan ...

The CEIPI IP Business Talk with Dr. Urs Ferber focused on one of the most difficult questions in today’s deep-tech IP practice: how should quantum companies develop and maintain patent portfolios when the technology, the market, the product architectu ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
