What is a Patent?
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention
What is an invention?– It’s the solution to a technical problem
What type of protection is granted?– The protection granted by a patent enables the patent
holder to prevent anybody from commercially exploiting the invention without the consent of the patent holder
![Page 19: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is a Patent?
• Patentabililty requirements:– The invention must be new– It must involve an inventive step– It must be capable of industrial application
• Maximum duration of a patent: 20 years (but annual fees must be paid)
• Territorial right
![Page 20: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

3. Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• Patent or keep secret?– Advantages of patents: stronger protection, 20 year duration,
exclusive rights, facilitates licensing negotiations, a secret is hard to keep...
– Disadvantages of patents: costs, publication after 18 months, may delay the launch of a new product, hard to enforce...
– Alternatives to patents: lead-time advantage, secrecy, trademarks, technological measures of protection, constant innovation,
![Page 24: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• Trade secrets: no need for registration. But there are three essential requirements:
– The information must be secret ! – It must have commercial value because it is
secret– It must have been subject to reasonable steps by
the holder to keep it secret (e.g. confidentiality agreements)
![Page 25: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• What to patent?– Patent on every invention or only on high value inventions
– Gillette Mach 3 (one product, 35 patents)
– Patent mining
![Page 27: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• When to patent?– Late patenting may lead to losing the
invention to a competitor
– First-to-file system
– Annual maintenance costs increase every year
![Page 28: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• Where to patent?– Where will the product be commercialized?
– What are the costs involved in patenting abroad?
– What are the main markets for the product?
– Where are the main competitors based?
– Advantages of the PCT (provides more time)
![Page 29: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Strategies for the acquisition of patents
• Who owns the patent?– Company, entrepreneur or employee?– What happens for subcontracted work?
![Page 30: INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERY RIGHTS Esteban Burrone Esteban Burrone](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081512/5515485a5503465e608b6353/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Strategies for patent exploitation
• Case study of own exploitation of a patent– Case: Mandy Haberman– Invention of a non-spill drinking vessel– Application for patents and industrial designs– Registered mark: Anywayup®– Difficulties in accessing the main retail stores and
supermarkets – Search for a partner– Creation of a new company to commercialize the
product– Infringement and litigation

Strategies for patent exploitation
• Case study of a combined patent exploitation strategy: own exploitation and licensing
– Case: Pliva - Pfizer
– New antibiotic
– Patent application in Croatia and abroad
– Patent search by Pfizer leads to the discovery of the Pliva patent
– Pliva licenses Pfizer to produce the antibiotic in the US as well as in some other countries while Pliva maintains the exclusive right to commercialize it in Central and Eastern Europe
