"Traditional in-house IP functions often rely on ingrained, inertia-driven systems and legacy processes. Inventors hit frequent bottlenecks, stifling innovation and frustrating organizational goals. Internal customers and other stakeholders see legal as gatekeepers rather than collaborators.This white paper challenges that status quo, offering a framework to rethink how IP teams engage with the business by aligning around customer centricity. We outline a modern approach to IP function, putting people, processes, and technology at the center of a modern, innovation-ready system."
"This paper invites you to reimagine disclosure workflows, enhance business fluency, and adopt tech solutions that serve the entire organization, not just legal.✔️Customer-Centric IP Starts With PeopleA high-performing IP team prioritizes cross-functional relationships and alignment with business goals to build trust and engagement into every interaction.✔️Rethink Processes with Stakeholders in MindFriction-filled invention disclosures and ad hoc workflows slow innovation and create bottlenecks. Process mapping can reveal where inventors drop off-and how to bring them back."
Traditional in-house IP functions rely on ingrained, inertia-driven systems and legacy processes that create frequent bottlenecks and stifle innovation. Inventors often encounter friction-filled disclosure workflows and ad hoc processes that slow progress and frustrate stakeholders. High-performing IP teams prioritize cross-functional relationships and alignment with business goals to build trust and engagement. Process mapping and redesigned disclosure workflows can reveal drop-off points and accelerate inventor participation. Modern technology — dynamic disclosure tools and real-time dashboards — increases visibility, synergy, and stakeholder engagement across the organization. The goal is an innovation-ready system centered on people, processes, and technology that serves the entire organization, not just legal.
