Patent Ready®: Introductory Book for Executives, Managers, Engineers & Others

Patent Ready® by Patent Introductions, Inc. aims to help organizations navigate in the world of patents. Recognizing that patents are multi-disciplinary, this book starts from the point of view of the company, and uses plain language, tables, and custom diagrams to concisely integrate the viewpoints of diverse stakeholders in an organization, so as to enable them to have the right patent conversations. Patent Ready® describes patent systems of countries, and how they create patent business risks and opportunities. For new product planning, it also shows which components of a Business Analysis Review can be affected. It then presents basic patent strategies for mitigating the risks that a new product may: i) infringe another’s patent, and ii) eventually be copied, and thus not achieve its possible eventual differentiation, market share, and pricing power in the very long term. This way, managers can better support these patent strategies in their company, for driving durable, patent-related outcomes. Patent Ready® continues with more in-depth instruction for engineers and scientists to execute the basic patent strategies. Detailed information about patents, situations, and searches better prepares the reader at the front line of product development to timely identify scenarios of patent business risks and opportunities, and thus create more advantageous positions for their company.
