Abstract
This chapter answers the question of IPRM characteristics and scope. First, we delve into attributes such as “integrated ,” “aligned ,” and so on to discern their meaning in practice in IPR savvy companies . We show what is behind these often used monikers.
Second, we present the strategic IPRM framework and then proceed with defining the scope of IPRM through the bundle of activities defined as Back-office , Front-office, or Mixed, extending upon the last part of Chap. 5. We show not only the complementarity of legal and administrative tasks with business-oriented tasks but also the broad involvement of different employees and different departments. We present a flowchart of IPR process activities . The chapter is enriched with citations by the top IP executives . We provide interview-based recommendations for successful IPR practices.
