Journées stratégie PI et Innovation

Corinne Le Buhan présentera “Comment évaluer la valeur d’un portefeuille de brevets pour le licensing” aux premières Journées stratégie PI et Innovation le 20 et 21 novembre au SwissTech Convention Center de l’EPFL à Lausanne.

Egalement au programme de ce congrès organisé par Centredoc en collaboration avec l’IEEPI, les pratiques de gestion stratégique de PI dans l’industrie ainsi que les dernières tendances en matière de marchés, pools et litiges de brevets avec des intervenants de différents horizons et secteurs d’activité (Peugeot, L’Oréal, Technicolor…).

Venez nombreux! Programme détaillé et inscriptions en ligne jusqu’au 31 octobre ici.

IP management practices – Findings from the CRISPR-Cas landscape

When initially building our CRISPR-Cas patent landscape database over this summer, we were surprised by some unusual inventor patterns. As we now monitoring deeper into this data subset for our customers, we are further amazed by how some inventors and applicants are already strongly defending their IP position by various means in the diversity of international patent prosecution law practices – an IP management lesson of its own!

IEEPI training in Bern, Nov 2014 – From IP strategy to IP operations

Corinne Le Buhan will be teaching the new IEEPI IP management training “From IP strategy to IP operations” in Bern on Nov 7th, 2014: learn about practical IP strategies and key IP management challenges from various business environments, how to define your own organisation IP strategy and how to implement it in practice with various IP development, enforcement and commercialisation tactics. In this professional training, emphasis is put on simple management tools and checklists, illustrated with case studies from various industries, and a situational workshop experimentation.

This training will be also organized again in Paris in June 2015.

2014 London IP Summit

IPStudies will be attending the 2014 London IP summit, Oct 13-14, in London City.

The LPS – London IP Summit, chaired by Stephen Pattison of ARM Holdings Plc, is an established annual meeting for IP regulators, policy makers, Board-level IP managers, as well as IP experts, litigators, investors and their advisers in a dialogue designed to address and to discuss best practices and solutions to enhance global, regional and national IP management strategies.

TAL Effectors and CRISPR-Cas patent survey

We’re pleased the announce the availability of new IPStudies patent landscapes on TAL Effectors and CRISPR-CAS, two outstanding and competing genome engineering technologies that have raised significant investments in academic as well as industrial research in the past 5 years.

Our TAL Effectors and CRISPR-Cas patent landscapes analyze worldwide published patent families regarding:

  • Transcription Activator-Like effectors (TAL Effectors – TALE), including genome editing methods based on TALE Nucleases (TALEN);
  • Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR), including genome editing methods based on the emerging CRISPR-Cas9 systems breakthrough technology.

The survey comprises:

  • a global patent database (265 patent families) comprising both TAL Effectors and CRISPR, in order to give an overall overview of the IP situation, including the comparison of patent filings and the technological positioning of actors on either TAL Effectors or CRISPR or both;
  • a focus on TALE Effectors (197 patent families), including TALE Nucleases;
  • a focus on CRISPR (96 patent families), including CRISPR-Cas9 nucleases.

IP licensing training in Bern and Paris, September 2014

Corinne Le Buhan will be teaching “Best practices in international licensing agreements” in Bern on September 9th and in Paris on September 26th, 2014: identifying the different licensing strategies, understanding strategic and contractual issues raised by the entry into licensing agreements with academic institutions or companies, and managing licensing agreement negotiations throughout the whole partnership lifetime at all levels (technical, business, legal).

IPStudies launches independent patent orienteering surveys

In addition to our exclusive customer services, we now offer a selection of independent patent orienteering™ surveys on emerging breakthrough technologies, identified from our research network, searched in professional patent databases and carefully analyzed by our PhD experts.

Our patent studies are designed to help R&D, IP and business development managers identify and visualize key patent information around a given technology, to support strategic decisions by highlighting the right information out of the patent big data.

Each patent orienteering™ survey includes:

  • an analysis of the patent landscape, covering hundreds of published patent families, worldwide, in a given technology area;
  • a synthesis of IP strategy findings, to visualize key trends in terms of patent applicants, collaboration networks, competitor technology positioning, key inventors and R&D white spaces out of the landscape;
  • an on-line access to the selected patent set, so you can visualize, navigate, focus and extract the most relevant patent data according to your specific needs.
