IP-driven companies thoroughly and vigorously develop a Technology Value Realization (IP Commercialization) process to a level of sophistication such that they can predict with a reasonably high degree of accuracy the market success for their emerging technologies. This process links the stages of moving a technology with product potential to patent procurement/ management. In the four phases of technology commercialization, there are parallel patent value realization activities.
Bringing Patent Protected Technology to Market |
The process begins in the Research & Development (R&D) labs where technology with product potential is identified. It is at this early point that the linkage with the patent process is formed. |
Commercialization Process | Patent Process |
I. Technology Analysis Process | I. Patent Search |
- Starts with an analysis of the technology followed by the development of a draft Technical Product Description
|
- Patent searches are done for prior art
- Provisional patents may be filed
|
II. Market Opportunity Identification | II. Patent Application |
- Market opportunity identification
- Competitive analysis
- Draft Business Case
- Final Technical Product Description
- Initial patent value determination is made
|
- Patent application is registered with the Patent and Trademark offices of the US (and other countries) for value added features
- Patent Issued (or rejected)
|
III. Market Actualization Planning | III. Patent Profit Planning |
- Most effective method(s) for value realization/commercialization are determined
|
- Develop licensing strategies and Patent Licensing Agreements (PLAs)
|
IV. Implementation | IV. Patent Management |
- Commercialization and appoint of a Product Manager (or market manager) to transition the technology into implementation and bring it to market
|
- Associated patent(s) are then moved into Patent Management
