Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Questions on innovation are answered. The author has found that it is important, before engaging in any open innovation, to understand the IP rights and control needed for the specific technology area. Most potential open innovation sources are attractive because they already have discovered or developed technology, so they already have background patents and/or applications filed. When looking at working with a university, the author wants to understand the background IP the university has and any limitations on a potential license. The first task is to establish what type of IP ownership model will be used for any new IP. And most universities will look to the other party to fund any patent prosecution and maintenance fees, but this is negotiable.
