Introduction

Intellectual property (IP) is the most treasured asset that a Corporate possesses and should be managed with due respect. An IP strategy focuses on alignment of R&D, IP, and Business strategies and lays the basic foundation for development of the forthcoming Patent, Trademark and Copyright Portfolio.

Apart from numerous other parameters, an IP Strategy focuses on:

• How to break up the IP Budget across different Intellectual Properties
• Whether to build a defensive or an offensive IP portfolio
• Which geographies to focus on for protection and commercialization
• How to measure return on investment and define timelines for the purpose
• Which IP’s to License and which to commercialize in-house
• How to ensure that the portfolio is defendable and place on records steps which ensure that all infringements, passing off actions, and dilution acts are handled strongly and enforced properly
