Patent strategy

To draw up a clear patent strategy seems to one of the most important tasks to do when starting up a company. A patent must be regarded as a strategic asset aimed at improving the competitive advantages and the earning capacity of a company, for example by:

• securing a technological platform for a future development
• preventing competitors from gaining access to emerging markets
• creating retaliatory power against competitors
• preventing innovative products from being plagiarised
• increasing the goodwill of the company and its products or services
• making it possible to participate in technology transfer agreements
• securing a revenue from the licensing of patented technology
