Why We All Should Care about IP

IP gets a bad rap today. Between litigation risk, complexity, and filing costs, most organizations see patenting as a necessary evil.
 

However, data shows the world's most innovative companies are 200% more IP-intensive than the rest of the Fortune 500. Forward-leaning companies have realized that IP creates an enormous opportunity to:

  • Build differentiated solutions

  • Realize new revenue from licensing and start-up formation

  • Lower IP management costs by millions of dollars

  • Attract and retain world-class scientists and engineers

As you'll see throughout this newsletter, IP data also offers an invaluable look into future market trends, competitive strategies, and technology development.
