The course was specifically designed to connect technological research with education using patented technologies developed at the research faculties of a technical university in the Netherlands. We outline the structure and the main content of the course and explain the selection process of both the patents used in the course and the students admitted to the course. This program was initiated at Delft University of Technology in 2003 and has resulted in 10 startups that have commercialized new technologies and at least two additional dozen startups that are indirect spinoffs. To illustrate the potential of this approach, we describe the case of Holland Container Innovations, a company founded by students who developed a foldable sea container during the course.}, keywords = {commercialization, entrepreneurship education, multi-disciplinary team work, patents, student entrepreneurs, technology entrepreneurship, university research}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/856}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/856}, author = {Dap Hartmann} } @article {638, title = {TIM Lecture Series {\textendash} Intellectual Property Paradigms for Global Business}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {2}, year = {2012}, month = {12/2012}, pages = {43-45}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {global business, intellectual property, IP, patents, strategy, trademarks}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/638}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/638}, author = {Gordon Freedman} } @article {500, title = {Editorial: Intellectual Property Rights (December 2011)}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {1}, year = {2011}, month = {12/2011}, pages = {3-4}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, keywords = {intellectual property, intellectual property rights, IP, IPR, patents}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/500}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/500}, author = {Chris McPhee and Peter Carbone} } @article {504, title = {Intellectual Property Rights: Unlocking the Value of this New Asset Class}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {1}, year = {2011}, month = {12/2011}, pages = {23-28}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Discussing the value of intellectual property (IP) has become a common theme in today{\textquoteright}s mainstream press and is now central to the business strategy of a growing number of technology companies, both large and small, domestically and internationally. This focus on IP and intellectual property rights (IPR) is a trend that has developed over the last several years as a result of a convergence of factors including the growth of the patent monetization industry, ongoing reforms to U.S. patent law, the emergence of China and other countries in the Far East as technology-production hubs, and the advocacy of the {\textquotedblleft}knowledge-centric{\textquotedblright} economy.

Despite this acknowledgment of the significant value of patents for large corporations, many small technology companies are understandably more focused on the near-term costs of obtaining a patent rather than future value. Costs may seem prohibitive to an early stage technology startup. Some software startups question whether patents are relevant to their business. In practice, effective intellectual property (IP) strategy and management is dependent on many factors, such as technology or industry sector, size and maturity of the business, technology lifecycle, and the business and market environment. IP strategy must be aligned to business strategy from the outset. By considering IP in the broader context of the overall business plan and the competitive environment, opportunities for generating increased return on R\&D investment and added business value through patents or other forms of IP can be recognized early on. This approach ensures that a decision about whether or not to patent is driven by business reasons rather than budget constraints. This article examines the costs and benefits of patents from the perspective of early-stage technology startups and growing businesses, and it provides some general guidance on best practices for developing an IP and patent activity plan and for building a patent portfolio that appropriately supports business objectives.}, keywords = {business value, intellectual property, patenting costs, patents, strategy}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/501}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/501}, author = {Angela de Wilton} } @article {502, title = {Patents to Exclude vs. Include: Rethinking the Management of Intellectual Property Rights in a Knowledge-Based Economy}, journal = {Technology Innovation Management Review}, volume = {1}, year = {2011}, month = {12/2011}, pages = {12-17}, publisher = {Talent First Network}, address = {Ottawa}, abstract = {Traditional patent theory emphasizes the importance of patents for excluding imitators. This view is far too restrictive and is at odds with many empirical and theoretical works. Therefore, we propose an analysis of patent management that considers the properties of knowledge-based economies explicitly. Patents are thus shown to be critical instruments for coordinating innovative activities between firms. They not only exclude potential infringers, but also {\textquotedblleft}include{\textquotedblright} all the heterogeneous stakeholders of the innovation process. Patents facilitate coordination via two mechanisms: they encourage the emergence of markets for technology (market coordination) and they play an important role in formal and informal inter-firm collaboration (non-market coordination).
