#37 IP for Inventors and Entrepreneurs

‧ 18m 35s

Stephen Key emphasised that understanding business objectives should precede patenting, urging inventors to align their patent claims with their commercial goals. Key stressed the importance of testing market demand for an invention's benefit before heavily investing in IP protection. He also highlighted the collaborative role of inventors and IP experts, where inventors should actively contribute their business acumen to the patenting process, ensuring the protection truly serves their needs. Key enthusiastically endorsed provisional patent applications as an accessible starting point for securing intellectual property rights while further developing an invention.

#36 Innovation in IP

‧ 16m 29s

Novak, with a background in economics, finance, and software, recounts his entry into IP tech through developing an AI-powered patent retrieval system. The discussion further investigates the challenges startups face in engaging with the IP system and how digital tools, like Novak's, can lower these barriers by offering user-friendly initial engagement and fostering trust, ultimately aiming to improve the client journey for patent law firms.

#35 IP in Innovation Processes

‧ 12m 3s

Koukounis emphasises the often-overlooked value of incremental improvements and advocates for closer collaboration between engineers and IP departments to identify and protect these innovations through patents. The discussion uses the example of modified excavator teeth to illustrate how strategic IP design can secure market advantages. Ultimately, the piece argues for a shift in perspective where IP is viewed as a strategic business asset rather than just a cost, requiring better understanding at the executive level and encouragement of inventive thinking among engineers.

#34 The Power of Stage-Gate Systems

‧ 21m 35s

Drawing upon Robert G. Cooper's work, this episode presents the stage-gate system as a structured method to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of new product development. The stage-gate approach divides the innovation process into distinct stages separated by decision points called gates, involving multidisciplinary teams and senior management. Key benefits highlighted include enhanced quality, stronger market focus, better preliminary work, and more robust project evaluations. Ultimately, the piece argues that adopting a stage-gate system offers a competitive advantage by providing a clear roadmap and improving the success rate of new products.
