Patent Portfolio Management

Patent Portfolio Management provides companies with an essential guide to improving the management of their patents. The clear and succinct advice in this book will empower IP and patent departments to audit and structure the patents they own, align the patent portfolio strategy with the business and R&D strategies, and ultimately extract the most value from the patent portfolio to maximise business potential.



Providing a highly visual step-by-step guide to the patent cycle, from the raw invention stage through to transformation into a ‘Diamond’ patent, applicable across all industries, the book sets out time-tested best practice alongside ground-breaking methods. It is a must-have for those leading IP and patent departments and will also be an essential resource for patent attorneys and IP and law firms providing client advice.
