This book is about the successful management and leadership of a
patent factory and considers the organisational structures and
modes of operation required. This involves providing clear
direction and meaningful vision to all parts of an organisation,
deploying and then controlling resources, be that people, money, or
physical and intangible assets.
Drawing from the experience and insights of the author, this
book guides the reader and provides advice about how best to
arrange the human resources available to optimise the effectiveness
and efficiency of the organisation. It then looks at which tasks
are best conducted internally as opposed to outsourcing and what
sort of organisation structures and formats work best. Decisions
then need to be made on the key processes and the tools that are
needed to be put in place. It highlights the key issues for
consideration, the options available and the decision making
process as well as the opportunities and challenges that exist at
each stage of this journey towards setting up a successful patent
factory.
"Donal O'Connell makes a dramatic contribution to the literature
through the ideas and constructs detailed in Inside the Patent
Factory. His writing lilt and clarity transform an idiosyncratic
legal art into an explicit process that can be proactively managed
to realize the competitive advantages of patents. Any innovation
professional can use this guide to logically organize, operate and
measure the intellectual property related activities at their firm.
Kudos to Donal and his publisher for bringing this important
information resource to market." - James G. Conley
"The unique characteristic of this book is that it provides
handson guidance to manage patent creation in a company or a
research instit5ute. The author's long experience in leading patent
creation within a major company is positively visible throughout
the book." - Yrjo Neuvo
"This book looks at factors which can help to formulate a
patent strategy looking at various options available to small and
large sized companies who each may need a completely alternative
approach. I believe this book would be of value to any company
looking at altering its existing patent strategy or creating one;
in addition I feel this book would be of value to technologists who
are seeking some awareness of patent strategy." - John Samuels
