Sustainable solutions require deep innovation – how can IPR support your R&D culture?

We live in an innovation economy and all corporations – big and small – are surely able to maintain at least a shallow innovation culture. However, when making a real difference and creating sustainable solutions for the future, deep innovation is needed. Groundbreaking innovations, which disrupt the market, are typically based on considerable R&D investments. IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) can support the success of your new solutions in several ways. The first step includes providing information to boost the innovation environment and guide the efforts in the right direction. Ensuring freedom-to-operate is also an important premise to minimize risks. Finally, IPR can be utilized to secure your R&D investments before entering the market.
