A special issue of International Journal of Intellectual Property Management
This special issue focuses on managing intellectual property (MIP) of the firm. MIP, in a broad sense is about the internal context of firms generating, protecting, and disseminating IP products and services through the management of IP people and IP information. With the increasing globalisation, unsurprisingly, IP has preoccupied many practitioners and policy makers. However, only sporadic studies have been conducted to examine the managerial issues of IP, such as the motivations of IP generation, IP information analysis, protecting IP resources from within, and decision-making processes of IP commercialisation. This shows that the academic interest has lagged behind the broad realisation of MIP. A systematic examination of these managerial issues is hence long overdue and warrants greater attention. This special issue is to respond to the compelling need and to gather wits on this research orientation. It therefore serves as a forum to investigate this homogenous field centred on IP.
We welcome theoretical and empirical papers with original contributions, scholarly or professionally relevance and/or methodologically plausible arguments towards a critical understanding of this increasingly important issue – that of managing intellectual property.
The objective of this special issue is to publish papers on a variety of issues relevant to managing intellectual property. Papers are particularly welcome on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Classification of IP companies
- Managing IP human power from within
- Managing external IP resources
- Managing IP information
- Managing IP secrets
- Competitive analysis using IP information
- Portfolio management of IP
- Decision-making on intellectual property dissemination - donation or licensing
- Intellectual property Insurance
