Industry Insights

Raconteur has recently published its annual intellectual property special report, and we are pleased to be sharing this with you. The report features an analysis of the current state and trends in intellectual property.

The Sunday Times intellectual Property special report, published in The Times, explores the pivotal steps throughout the product development cycle needed to protect your tangible and intangible assets. It also examines the first patents to list artificial intelligence as the inventors. Also featured is an infographic on the value of intangible assets in comparison to tangible assets.

Embracing technology has become an increasingly important factor for developing a successful IP strategy. Understanding the implications of collaborative innovation, implementing software into existing systems, and considerations around computer-implemented (CII) and artificial intelligence (AI) inventions, are fast evolving discussions within the IP narrative.

Ahead of the Energy IP Summit, we surveyed leading industry professionals to analyse how to best implement and improve digitalisation efforts across the Energy Industry, with a specific focus on the framework of IP.

The drive to develop and protect intellectual property has become increasingly vital. Issues of commercialisation, technological and collaborative innovation, as well as patent infringement are rife within the industry, and overcoming these is crucial to ensure effective use of an IP portfolio.  For the third year running, we have conducted a survey of IP professionals in the Oil & Gas industry, order to better understand the effect that the tumultuous energy environment has had on various organisations’ IP strategy.

Ahead of his participation in the Oil & Gas IP Summit 2019, we spoke to Michel De Puydt, Head of Law Department  - IP and Technology at Total  to discuss the challenges of protecting IP and patents as the industry evolves and the key considerations when looking to protect and manage complex IP portfolios. 

This article will cover:

- Issues of commercialisation through technological and collaborative innovation

- How the move from engineering-centred to a focus on software and data has affected how companies approach IP

-The need to preserve, manage and effectively utilise existing patent portfolios
