How IP supports sustainable innovation ๐ฏ IP Management Pulse #23
Many IP experts in the IP community at I3PM, the HTB-EPO initiative, and other IP offices and institutions in national and regional innovation systems have asked Prof. Alexander Wurzer: โWhere can you be sure not to miss any important IP management content?โ In fact, you have to follow a number of interesting feeds to really keep up with the global developments around IP management. To make this easier he decided to offer his own personal newsletter for IP management. Here, you can find the last issues in the archive and also subscribe. A fresh read with all important IP Management content will be sent to the subscribers every second Thursday at 7:00 (CET), so you can start your day informed.
The next Newsletter will cover the following topics:
This year’s Nobel Prize in Economics (which is not a “real” Nobel Prize) goes to three academics, two of whom have summarized their work in a very influential book: “Why Nations Fail”. It is about the difference between “extractive” economic and social systems that are designed to exploit natural resources and that fail to improve the living conditions of their people. ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ-๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ “๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐” ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก. ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฌ ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ.

The International Federation of Robotics reports that sales of service robots have increased by 30% worldwide to more than 205k units – 80% of which come from the Asia-Pacific region. A total of 4 million robots have now been installed worldwide – another record. 70% of all newly installed robots are used in Asia.
China has unveiled its first AI hospital town, where patients are treated by AI-generated doctors in a simulated environment. This groundbreaking development could revolutionize healthcare delivery and medical training while significantly impacting the intellectual property landscape.

New ๐dIPlex entry: IP Benchmarking
IP benchmarking is a process of evaluating a companyโs intellectual property (IP) assets and strategies against those of its competitors or industry leaders. This analysis helps companies understand their own IP strengths and weaknesses, make informed strategic decisions, gain competitive intelligence, optimize costs, and maximize the value of their IP portfolio.
New ๐dIPlex entry: Patent Portfolio Management
Effective patent portfolio management is an ongoing process that requires continuous adaptation and refinement. By embracing the best practices and staying ahead of industry trends, companies can position themselves for success in todayโs competitive landscape.

Synthetic data: An introduction with real-world impact
At its core, synthetic data is artificially generated information that mimics real-world data, allowing businesses and researchers to train machine learning models, run simulations, or conduct studies โ without the need for sensitive or proprietary datasets. With advances in machine learning, synthetic data has become an essential tool for industries looking to innovate while addressing privacy concerns and legal regulations.
What does brand equity mean? โ Case study: Apple
Brand equity is the additional benefit a consumer associates with a brand, which makes it unique compared to all the other brands available in the market. In other words, brand equity means the customerโs perception and loyalty to a brand and brand awareness, which measures the potential customersโ ability to recognize and associate a brand with a companyโs product or service.
Decarbonization technologies
As awareness of the dangers of climate change increases, more and more companies are turning to green technologies, particularly in the area of decarbonization. This means that the role of patents in decarbonization is also increasing. Nevertheless, the contribution of these patents to decarbonization must be assessed so that economic decisions can be made including the management of the patent portfolio. For this purpose, for example, AI technologies can be used to assess the environmental impact of the technologies, as described in this article.
The right mix for an IP portfolio
An IP portfolio safeguards a company’s valuable ideas and creations. It includes patents for technical inventions, utility models, and provisional applications to secure a priority date. Design patents protect a product’s appearance, while copyrights protect software code and marketing materials. Trade marks safeguard brand names and logos, and trade secrets protect confidential know-how. A well-managed IP portfolio is a vital asset for any company.
