2. Importance of Widespread Knowldge
• Open Innovation recognizes that there is
useful and widespread knowldge
• Open Innovation teaches that you need to
incentivize the emergence of secondry
markets
3. Importance of Widespread Knowldge
– firms need to be able to develop business model capable of
capture/extract value by buying, selling and sharing IP, and this may
require “educate” its employees ealry on and “help” others to figure
our their business models
and
– Government may need to provide infraestructure and foster
standarization for knowldge sharing and communicaton (includig
PTO)
Support and incentiveze the growth of a SECONDARY MARKET
4. • Both actors (firms and governments) need
then to manage IP accordingly and to invest
in a environment that supports such
management

= Moderate IP risk
= Strong IP position (possible assertion opportunity)
= High IP risk
= Low IP risk
35. In a world of Open Innovation there is
too much good stuff out there!
Develop “scouting” strategies!
Know you and your environment!
36. Be aware of your opportunities
Product line extensions
In-licensing and Out-licensing
Leverage into adjacent markets
Neutralize risks in points of your value-chain
Secure better terms from your suppliers
Offer more to your customers, including “IP
insurance”
Connect with you community and your
universities – get to know before others
37. can we “port” infrastructure that
facilitates Open Innovation?
Deal with:
“lack of information”
“lack of terms of trade”
“be smarter about your costs”
38. Deal with unused potential!
“only 60% of patents from top industry were utilized in
their mainstream business”
“10% of patents from Universities represent 90% of
royalties”
39. In order to:
Increase utilization of tech by you and others
Increase scope and number of areas by you
and others
=
Increase value of your tech!
44. make field of use
use
sell revenue
barter
import geography
46. “The primary goal of the IP Zone is to facilitate IP transactions. We envision the IP
Zone as the central hub for companies, universities, and entrepreneurs looking to
manage, market and monetize their IP assets.”
American Express‘ Tracey Thomas, Chief IP Strategist and acting CEO for the IP
Zone
49. From “inside”: enterprise 2.0
"The way we chose to facilitate this discussion was through a community blog, which I
called 'Discussion Group about the World Wide Web,' or DIGWWW," said Simon
Revell, manger of enterprise technology and development at Pfizer. "The blog was set
up to enable anybody to post—we deliberately wanted to lower the barrier to
participation. Both [Pfizerpedia and DIGWWW] were initiated at the grassroots level
and spread virally. One soon heard about the other, and that resulting in some
beneficial 'cross-selling.'"
Develop “scouting” strategies!: Talk to your costumers! Suppliers! Develop relations with Universities! And larger communities! Support standard bodies! Know you and your environment! TLC!
