Landscaping: The Tool for Harnessing Creative Effort for Enhanced Inventive Research

10:00am - 11:00am
Online via Zoom

In today’s highly competitive technology areas, inventive research requires planning and tools to optimize value extraction from the research.  Corporations invest large sums of money to finance inventive research focused around products that aim to provide a return on the investment.  In order to compete, universities and research institutes need to adopt an innovation-enhancing environment to focus their research for optimal value capture.  This is especially true for research in the highly competitive technology areas of artificial intelligence, next generation communication products and methodologies, and sensor technologies which enable devices to interact with the real world.
 

On 29 September 2021, a presentation “Landscaping: The Tool for Harnessing Creative Effort for Enhanced Inventive Research” will explore the relationship between invention and innovation and how patent landscaping can be used for focusing innovation to optimize value extraction from inventive research.  The presentation will look at how patent landscaping can both be used to strengthen one’s patent portfolio and be used to focus inventive research for inspiring greater returns from creative effort.
