We (IP DOME) are holding a 4-city Seminar on 'Monetising IP' in India and we are trying to evangelize a strategic perspective of IP (contrary to defensive perspective which characterizes many business organizations in India. <br /> The Tatas in India have adopted a practice where most of their IP is vested in their house company; but in most other groups IP is in the Legal Department as a 'cost-centre' rather than a proactive seeking of value-creation.<br />PVS Giridhar<br />Legal Advisor<br />IP Dome,<br />giridhar@ipdome.inPVS Giridharhttp://www.ipdome.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142407066547664406.post-71234242324243274902009-10-21T09:28:33.599+02:002009-10-21T09:28:33.599+02:00I would like to add another reason to an IP commer...I would like to add another reason to an IP commercialization organization. Our recent experience working on IP acquisition issues featured the following:. One of our colleagues was asked to evaluate a portfolio of patents that a client felt they needed to have licenses for as part of their freedom to operate effort for a suite of new products. The effort finally came down to a few key patents.<br /><br />During a briefing he told the client that one of the key patents shouldn't be a problem and they won't have any licensing issues. This led to a long protracted technical discussion on why they needed the patent. He agreed that the technology disclosed in the patent was critical but... Attempts to bust into the conversation were rebuffed. <br /><br />Finally he busted in and said didn't you guys buy XYZ Company a couple of years ago. Yes. Isn't XYZ Company the predecessor company of WWW Enterprises. Yes. Turns out the client already owned the patent they wanted to license. They bought XYZ for its technology but never bothered to take care of the IP issues. They integrated the operations, the people, the products but never got around to integrating the trade secrets and the patents.Arleen Zankhttp://coronadogroup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1142407066547664406.post-28392385781000815652009-10-20T22:09:19.704+02:002009-10-20T22:09:19.704+02:00Raymond.

The separate IP business unit is a lucrative move for the right company, but I do believe the decision is fact-intensive, and it certainly isn't one-size-fits-all. Nevertheless, you make some great points regarding advantages in creating the separate IP business unit, especially the opportunity to avoid the counterclaim in enforcement actions. Still, there are legal roads in many jurisdictions that would allow the counterclaim to reach the parent company. The ability to allocate cost and profit among the individual enterprises is another lucrative benefit that is interconnected with certain tax advantages available under this scenario, especially in the U.S. <br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post. I will keep an eye on this blog. <br /><br />Ian David McClure, IP ProspectiveIan David McClurehttp://www.ipprospective.comnoreply@blogger.com
