Intellectual Property (IP) challenges are significant concerns for many R&D teams, particularly in industries where innovation is central to competitiveness and where the protection of intellectual property is vital. Assessing whether an invention or innovation is eligible for patent protection is a crucial step in the R&D process. R&D teams need to conduct thorough patent searches to identify prior art and determine whether their work is novel and non-obvious. R&D teams must be vigilant to avoid infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, which can result in costly legal battles and damage to the organization’s reputation. Handling and analyzing large volumes of data generated during research can be challenging. Efficient data management and analysis tools are crucial for making informed decisions.
These are just a few of the critical innovation workflow processes that affect the success of an R&D team’s innovation efforts. Using free tools that povide grossly inadequate and incomplete data can put the idea or innovation at risk before it even gets started. IP.com provides a comprehensive set of tools that de-risk and accelerate simultaneously making the process of going from idea to patent easier and less fraught with competitive risks.
