Abstract

Intellectual property rights are a means of protecting the use of inventions, technologies and knowledge for the party holding such right. Increasingly for companies but also research based institutions like universities and public research institutions the question arises which knowledge and inventions to protect against other parties use, in which geographic scope, in which application fields etc. to aim at such protection. Also the issue becomes crucial which share of knowledge and technology to protect measured against the overall knowledge and intellectual assets available. Furthermore the question arises how to evaluate intellectual property and how to determine the contribution of intellectual property to economic value in tradable goods. The course gives an introduction into the management of intellectual property by means of intellectual property rights. A variety of types of intellectual rights are discussed in a strategic company context, e.g. from the view of intellectual property as strategic weapons for the holder and owner of intellectual property. Special attention is given to the valuation of intellectual property and portfolio management approaches.
