Le Professeur Julien Pénin, de la Faculté des Sciences Economiques et Gestion de Strasbourg, donnera une conférence à Neuchâtel le 10 juin, sur le thème du brevet comme instrument de co-opétition, combinaison de coopération et de compétition.
Conférence en accès libre – les inscriptions sont possibles jusqu’au 5 juin ici.
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!
Le premier colloque P2i, “Propriété intellectuelle et innovation – Témoignages et expériences” se tiendra pour la première fois à Paris le 2-3 octobre 2013.
One of the newest and most promising areas in econometrics research focuses on the valuation of companies based on their patent stock. This work, initiated by Hall’s observations regarding the correlation between patent citations and a company stock value, has blossomed in the past 5 years. Here is a review of recent findings.
I just came across a short insightful Harvard Business Review blog paper from Pr. Robert J. Thomas assessing collaboration as an intangible asset. Intangible assets is what buy-side analysts are focusing upon – they crave for innovation, but how do you measure that in advance to support your investment decisions? Pr. Thomas suggests to measure collaboration, starting from the assumption that behind innovation there are plenty of people, a.k.a. collective intelligence.
In the last two decades, patent analytics methods have been developed, initially in the field of econometrics to measure R&D and technology innovation performance in different industry sectors and at national level, and now also at the corporate level, as they enable to better:
In parallel, a number of economists are proposing new models and gathering experimental evidence on the application of emerging patent analytics to the fundamental analysis of a technology company’s value. This approach aims at better capturing the 70% to 80% ratio of stock valuation that is now attributable to intangible assets, a large part of which are formalized into significant patent portfolios in the case of high-tech companies. Better analysis of the latter assets is required to help both institutional and private investors select their value investment to secure mid-long term sustainable dividends beyond the short-term speculation profits derived from pure technical analysis of accounting and financial data.

The Economist-Innocentive challenge has inspired at least one other published initiative according to my google search: the Continuum Development Index. Interestingly, the author, Brandon Peele, also started from the pyramids of needs by Maslow. While I specialized my proposal on the creative sharing measurement as the best proxy to self-actualization I could think of, Brandon took a larger view by trying to define a framework encompassing many more areas of our needs, and also taking into account the trans-generational transmission.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the yearly half-day seminar of the Licensing Executive Society in Lausanne. The topic was particularly compelling for me this year:
IPStudies celebrates its first year of activity on September 1st, 2011 – launching a brand new web site to more dynamically promote new services and partnerships – those that can be disclosed 😉 -, as well as breaking news and publications.
The blog part has been entirely revisited to facilitate publishing and referencing, and hopefully also improve your reader experience.
So, let’s start evaluating this with the first year birthday virtual speech!
