An Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy is a comprehensive plan for an organization to protect, manage, and leverage its IP assets. In order to effectively protect valuable IP assets, organizations must have a clear plan for how to identify, protect, and monitor their IP. An IP strategy should include IP protection, enforcement, and management activities that should be tailored to the organization's particular needs and goals.
Each focus area has its own objectives, projects, and KPIs to ensure that the strategy is comprehensive and effective.
This IP Strategy template is designed to help organizations of all sizes and industries create a comprehensive strategy to manage their intellectual property. It helps organizations identify their IP assets, determine how to protect and manage them, and develop a plan to monitor their IP rights.
A focus area is the primary area of IP strategy that will be addressed. Focus areas should be determined by the organization's overall IP strategy goals. Examples of focus areas could include managing intellectual property, training employees, and establishing IP rights.
Objectives are the specific goals that the organization wants to achieve in each focus area. Examples of objectives could include protecting intellectual property, monitoring IP rights, educating staff on IP, and filing IP applications.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurable targets that should be set for each objective. KPIs should include an initial value, target value, and unit of measure. Examples of KPIs could include increase IP protection (initial 0%, target 100%), detect IP infringements (initial 0%, target 100%), and increase IP knowledge (initial 0%, target 100%).
Projects (actions) are activities that the organization should take in order to achieve the KPIs. Examples of projects could include developing an IP strategy, monitoring IP rights, creating an IP training program, and establishing IP policy.
