The implementation of this IPMS has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of IP management across various sectors, leading to increased commercialization of intellectual property. This, in turn, can drive economic growth, foster innovation, and improve the strategic management of intellectual assets. By making IP management more accessible and affordable, the system supports the development of a more robust IP ecosystem, particularly benefiting organizations in developing countries.
- Automated IPM Performance Evaluation: The system automates the calculation of the IPMPI, reducing manual effort and increasing accuracy.
- Comprehensive IPM Audit Tool: The IPM audit tool offers a detailed assessment across five stages (pre-IP, IP, post-IP, IP acquisition, IP enforcement), ensuring thorough evaluation.
- Scalability: The system can be adapted for use at individual, organizational, industrial, sector, and country levels.
- User-Friendly Interface: The system includes an intuitive user interface and access portal, making it accessible for non-experts.
- Integrated Data Management: Efficient data management tools, including electronic laboratory notebooks and secure data storage, ensure data integrity and accessibility.
- Customizable Matrices and Models: The system supports the design of various matrices, models, and tools tailored to specific IP and innovation management activities.
The current status of the Intellectual Property Management System (IPMS) is at the prototype stage, having been tested and validated through case studies and interactions with IP professionals. It has shown effectiveness in assessing IP management performance and supporting IP-related activities, ready for further refinement and broader application.
