知识产权商业周期和生命周期受众 创新和获取 管理和商业化 分析和调整 发明者 知识产权专业人士 执行人员 IBM IP Business Cycle When you decompose the lifecycle of the intellectual property business, it breaks down into three main categories: Innovate and Capture where you are harvesting the best ideas from your employees and ensuring the pipeline of new invention disclosures will meet your long-term business needs. Manage and Monetize, which focuses on taking all the IP from the entire organization and extracting the maximum value from it and finally Analyze and Adjust, this is a constant process and you have to have enough agility in your infrastructure to adjust to changing market dynamics and ensure your inventor community knows where to focus their efforts. We continue to refine this process and apply best practices from individual groups to the broader system. The tools we use have become much more sophisticated as they incorporate analytic capabilities and competitive insight and link more tightly with the business strategy to give us headlights into the future so we can proactively adjust before something becomes a problem. Additional details on each phase, probably don’t need to elaborate here… Innovate and Capture IBM obviously has a large infrastructure devoted to capturing our inventions. And by infrastructure I mean both the teams that manage the invention process as well as the tools they use. The core team for invention is our employees. We have 250,000 technical people around the world and an additional 150,000 non-technical employees who also participate in the invention process. This is an important point, it’s not just people in the labs doing the inventing – we encourage all employees to invent or to work with their technical counterparts to convert their idea into a patent. You never know where the next great idea will originate. We have several levels of distinction amongst our technical community to recognize prolific inventors. But we don’t passively wait for the inventions. We have a team of IP experts that identify a “needs list” and work with the inventors to generate new IP in specific technology areas. If we need additional IP in nanotubes for example, this team will assemble the various domain experts we have across the company and brainstorm with them until we have the ideas we need. The gatekeepers to the entire invention process are the folks on the invention review boards, and we have hundreds of IRBs across our divisions and sites. These teams review all incoming invention disclosures and decide which ones we pursue as patents vs. trade secrets vs. publish. Getting the right mix of people on these teams is very important since they are often the point of contact for the inventors. Part of their job is mentoring their local inventor community and encouraging them to invent. Most of these IRBs have at least one representative from IP Law to reality check that an idea meets the legal requirements for patentability. IBM is granted ~5,000 patents every year, and that means we sift through two to three to four times that many disclosures to get the best, most valuable, highest quality ideas. The tool we use to manage that volume is called the Innovation and IP Infrastructure. It includes both a front-end interface for the inventors to submit and track their disclosures, as well as the back-end infrastructure to manage all the disclosures and issued patents. Our inventors are very vocal about what they want it to include and it has been refined over the years. Conversely, management is also rather opinionated about the detail, the analysis, and the headlights they want so it includes the best thinking from the management perspective as well. This has been a Lotus Notes-based product used internally for years and we’re in the process now of porting it to a Web platform so we can share it with certain clients. Manage and Monetize That back-end management component is also used by the teams responsible for managing and monetizing our portfolio. As Kevin said, there are many ways to extract value from your IP portfolio in terms of superior products and freedom of action and industry influence. Focusing on the pure IP income aspects, we’re really talking about three key teams that work in tandem with the broader invention ecosystem. The first is the portfolio manager, they ensure we have the right mix of patents in each geography. They have to balance budget realities with the local IP and competitive environment in each patent jurisdiction. The business development executives are basically the sales team for IP. They’re really selling a mix of our patents, or access to our know how and our domain experts. As Kevin showed, the mix of our IP income is sifting to more joint development so we aren’t assigning as many patents today as we are allowing them to work alongside our experts and licensing companies to our portfolio. The BDEs work very closely with the patent engineering team. Together, they identify the licensing targets. Which companies are infringing on IBM’s IP and which ones make the most sense to pursue. There are many different ways we can engage with these other companies. If a company doesn’t accept that they need to take a license, the patent engineers essentially provide the BDEs the leverage they need to close the deal. They outline how the competitor’s product infringes on IBM’s IP and the extent of the infringement. IBM very very rarely goes to court over patent infringement, it’s simply not our strategy, not really our culture. A key reason we don’t HAVE to is because the depth of evidence the patent engineers provide is sufficient to get a fair license. We have developed several tools in addition to 3i to support these teams. PPKI and the Patent Engineering Portal focus on systematic analysis of our portfolio to make educated decisions on which patents to assign, to let lapse and stop paying the maintenance fee, and which ones have the most value for licensing. We call these ‘hero’ patents. Part of that knowledge comes from understanding the competitive landscape. What IP holes exist in the market where we should develop additional IP or license the IP we have? Who is exposed and needs the protection a license to IBM’s IP can provide? Competitive insight is also critical for the next phase of the lifecycle, analyze and adjust. Analyze and Adjust This phase is driven by IBM’s management team to ensure the IP portfolio meets our long-range goals. Corporate strategy is a key component of this as they set that long-range direction. They work with the product lines to determine where the technology is headed, where client expectations are headed, and how IBM can best meet those needs. Organizationally, the IPAC owns the overall IP program. It is comprised of the senior vice presidents representing the IBM divisions and they approve the overarching direction of the program, the budget, the allocations – which technology areas will have the most patents, etc. The CIL is the integration point between the inventor community and the business needs. As a company, we have been lowering the center of gravity and empowering the people on the front lines to make the decisions. The CIL is a group of technical leaders from across the company that develops and implements the IP strategy. They are embedded in the inventor communities and are focused on energizing the inventors and providing them the knowledge they need to be successful. And this is where the adjustment aspect comes into play. Inventors fundamentally want to patent in areas that are important to the company. They want to invent products that will be successful in the market and solve a problem for our clients. But that can change at any moment. A crisis can shift clients priorities to safety and security, a recession can shift their focus to cost savings, new regulations can change product requirements. We can’t predict the future, but a systematic approach to IP management can empower you to rapidly respond to and capitalize on whatever the future does bring. 16
