The organization should develop an IP strategy that treats IP as a tool for advancing its objectives and that supports its wider innovation and business strategies. The work should cover understanding how IP and IP management serve the innovation and business strategies, where vision, mission and barriers stand in the way, and understanding and documenting the current IP position through an IP audit, competitive intelligence, relevance to the market and peers, and an assessment of IP management maturity. It should also cover setting IP objectives that follow the innovation policy and roadmap, deciding what IP to capture and manage, when and where IP is exploited and what third parties may do, considering multiple uses such as divestment, licensing out or letting rights lapse, operationalising the strategy through IP types, processes, resources, capabilities, timeframes and commercialisation routes, and communicating the strategy to all relevant parties.
