Forms of IP
• Patent protection
• Trade Mark protection
• Design protection
• Copyright rotection
• Trade and industrial secretsts
•
•
© Fraunhofer
Centre of Systems Biotechnology
We will use Trade Secret protection
• In business areas where services are provided
• In areas in of own research
• In areas where relationship with customers determines that this form of protection is appropriate
•
•
© Fraunhofer
Centre of Systems Biotechnology
We will use patent protection
• in key business areas for platform technology development
• when patents are required by customers to improve their business
• to establish new concepts derived from our research
• as a tool in business negotiations
•

Centre of Systems Biotechnology
• Value of having a patent is not in dispute as it allows exclusivity to develop products
• Having a patent however is of no value per se, unless its application leads to new product development and new value generation
• Therefore, field of invention, market knowledge and process/product value are key
• Two routes identify the right opportunities
•

Routes of IP Generation Two examples from my own life (1)
• Research driven discovery and market creation
• Functional Genomics Research in Tomato
• Development of broad patent portfolio
• Production of novel GM tomato varieties for processing industry
• Identification of commercial benefit of new tomatoes
• Sale of product in UK supermarkets

Routes of IP Generation
Two examples from my own life (2)
• Market driven discovery
• Develop insect/herbicide resistant maize
• Development of broad patent portfolio
• Identify routes to develop resistance
• Test GM plants for insect/herbicide resistance
• Create market for GM maize varieties

Routes of IP Generation
Comparison
• Patenting process identical
• Patenting strategy identical
• Market analysis identical
• Commercial strategies were completely different
• Market driven approach had fewer commercial uncertainties
© Fraunhofer
IP Generation at FCR
• We use both R&D driven and market driven approaches
• For R&D driven process:
• Publication review strategy
• Develop a patenting strategy for broad coverage
• Internal/external background IP review
• Consultation with internal partners for field of application and potential value of invention
• Apply for patent protection in suitable geographies

IP Generation at FCR
• We use both R&D driven and market driven appraoches
• For market driven process:
• Close collaboration with industrial partner
• Internal/external background IP review
• Design a patenting strategy for specific application
• Apply for patent protection in suitable geographies
© Fraunhofer
IP Generation at FCR
• FCR does not have in-house patent agent/s
• However, we do have staff with IP experience
• Carry out training in IP searches, analysis and strategic developments
• We will work with local firms providing IP services well as overseas companies
• FCR/FG owns IP from platform development
• We will share IP depending on level of compensation
© Fraunhofer
IP Generation at FCR
• Publications are key to maintain highest scientific standing
• IP generation will have incentives
• Entrepreneureal culture will be encouraged
• Partnerships with outsid companbies will be encouraged
• Spin-offs will be formed based on the body of IP and market opportunity
© Fraunhofer
Summary
• IP generation is central to FCRs activities
• Platform technology development offers many opportunities for innovation
• Proximity to industry offers many opportunities for applying this IP and developing additional IP
• Strategy development is essential for success
