Set acceptance criteria for intellectual property portfolios before work begins rather than after.
Managing Intellectual Property Portfolios for Large Companies
A working programme in intellectual property portfolios for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
The commercial risk in intellectual property portfolios usually sits in clauses nobody reads until something fails. Ambiguity in this part of legal and contractual practice is resolved against the party that drafted it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the wider legal and contractual practice agenda and the judgement to adapt it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with intellectual property portfolios. Comparative studies of this strand of legal and contractual practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The version of this part of legal and contractual practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on intellectual property portfolios and revise it on evidence. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider legal and contractual practice agenda and prepares them for it. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of legal and contractual practice will be evidenced six months later.
