IP responsibilities linked to innovation should cover setting up IP activities and their support, deciding which innovation outputs are released openly and which are protected, and if protected, how, where and in what form, keeping an inventory of IP assets with controlled access, monitoring public domain IP for input and to avoid infringement, dealing with infringement of the organization's IP, tracking changes in national and international legal requirements, passing IP risks and opportunities up to interested parties such as the board or shareholders, realizing financial and non-financial value through IP, protecting trade secrets, managing ideas and settling ownership with external partners, and building awareness and training. These responsibilities should be set out clearly, recorded and passed on to the rest of the organization, especially where other functions interact with IP work. They may sit within existing roles or in dedicated roles, held by one person or a team, taken internally or externally, with the IP function reporting to, sitting within, or performed by top management.
