Abstract

Successful patent management in a company is rooted choosing the right organizational form. Various internal organizational choices, such as establishing a separate patent department, or directly integrating patent activities into the business subunits, must be done according to the objectives of the patent management. Alternatively, it is also possible to outsource service provision. This requires measures for quality assurance and an integration of external activities into company processes. This chapter also looks at how to prevent piracy and imitation by means of both intellectual property rights and business strategy. Patent management in a company often involves departmental rivalry and conflict. A partnership between inventor culture and intellectual property requirements can serve as a catalyst for success.
