The organizational and management aspects that characterize the company patent office – 14th Meeting

The meeting is the continuation of previous round tables and discussions on the same subject, the last of which took place in March 2018, and was organized, at the request of the participants, in order to allow them, and all those anyone who deals with patents and intellectual property within member companies, to investigate and discuss the organizational and management aspects that characterize the corporate patent office.

The rapid evolution of the market and technologies, as well as the increasingly broader and global competitive scenario, requires companies to structure themselves adequately to protect their intellectual capital. Each, according to their needs, has equipped the company with a structure (more or less developed and articulated) dedicated to the management of the patent portfolio and all the activities connected to it, carrying out activities with internal resources, or relying on external consultants.

The proposed working table will be oriented to the deepening and discussion of the themes that the companies of the work group have already identified and that concern:

• Patent Box: the experience of the companies that have joined
• Search for patentability on non-patent literature tools and research strategies: moment of comparison on operating methods and tools used in this area
• Design: comparison of storage and litigation experiences
• Other topics being defined (participants are invited to propose topics of interest to be addressed during the table)
