The Business Side of Intellectual Property

Intellectual property and, more broadly, intangible assets now dominates global business. Since the mid-1990s, businesses around the world invest more in new intangible assets—databases, brands, worker training and competencies, as well as R&D and patents—than in new physical assets. Companies now earn more from their intellectual property in its various forms than from their manufacturing plants and equipment.

Profit is now a game of out thinking competitors and less about out producing them. The old business model designs a product and sells it to create a major revenue stream. The new business model leverages intellectual property (IP) to generate higher profit margins and more value than the traditional “product only” business.

Managing intellectual property effectively is essential to the survival and growth of every business. Management that focuses on creating, controlling and leveraging rights to intellectual property will be the most successful in today’s IP centric economy.
