Bit by bit / Putting it togetherPiece by piece Every little detail plays a partsEverything depends on execution
Putting it together / That's what counts!Ounce by ounce / Putting in togetherFirst of all you need a good foundationOtherwise it's risky from the startBut without the proper preparation
Link by link / Making the connections

IBM Example IBM, the U.S. company that gets more patents than anybody, in an internal study some 10 years ago determined that of the 10,000 of their own patents studied only 40 had real value. Only 40. That's a whopping 0.4%.
So why does IBM continue to get around 3,000 patents year after year? Because, for them, the file "early and often" scenario of applying for patents is far cheaper than the alternative of studying the potential value of a budding technology or invention. So they spend the $3,000 or so it costs for their mostly in-house patent practitioners to get a patent rather than spend $10,000, $20,000 or even more it would take to analyze future business viability. And their method pays off big time. That tiny little 0.4% nets, not grosses, nets about $2 billion a year in licensing fees alone (they don't account separately for patents where they protect their own proprietary exclusivity to some profit stream from their own products). But you can't afford the "file early and often" method of applying for patents in the hopes for a big payoff.

University Setting
![Page 16: Intellectual Property Management](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051110/54bc58fc4a7959e6328b456f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Hi, Jon:
To cut to the chase, though, most of the tools that are used in managing IP developed in the university setting have to do with managing the flow of discoveries/technology from the research lab to the TTO and then on to commercialization partners. Most of the rest of the resources that people use are in the following areas:
1. IP valuation tools (how to measure value)2. Marketing tools (all kinds of business reports indicating what companies are active in which technology areas - used to target prospective licensees, of course)3. Patent searching tools, naturally, not so much to see what might be blocking but to see whether a disclosure is novel.
Then, there is the reverse side of IP Management - that is managing 3rd party rights where universities are users as opposed to developers of IP.
These are mainly internal management systems and there aren't tools used - other than IP lawyers who understand the legal limitations on non-commercial or academic use of 3rd party owned patents and copyrights.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT * Manage contracts, including licensing, employment, NDAs, vendor agreements and more * Get a unified view of all commitments and liabilities and visibility to all incoming and outgoing obligations * Search, roll up, alert and report on expirations, renewals, warranties, indemnifications and annuity date * Generate contract reports linked to other factors, such as royalty payments related to a particular technology or all agreements with a particular outside firm * Complete view of your portfolio by integrating data from multiple docketing systems, databases, spreadsheets and other sources. It shows you the all-important relationships among people, assets, activities and organizations. The system generates alerts to keep the right people proactive about deadlines and obligations. And it gives users ultra-flexible reporting capability to extract exactly the information they need when they need it. It even keeps you up to date on technologies, competitors and information from IP offices.
WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT * Streamline workflow and facilitate repeatable processes, reducing contract management costs * Manage contract approval processes, whether serial or parallel
RISK MANAGEMENT * Maintain meticulous records and an audit trail of all contract-related activities to aid regulatory compliance * Ensure thorough, efficient due diligence by integrating information key to transactions and litigation * Monitor expense, royalty and other revenue-related agreements and issue alerts on missed payments or forecasts

Putting it Together…
• Use technology to make you an information literate IP manage– RSS feeds– Integrating social networking– Clipping services / Alerts (e.g. Wexis, Google,
Amazon…)• Use human beings– Join professional associations– Law librarians are trained to filter data to provide you
information
