Protecting Open Innovation with the Defensive Patent LicenseOSCON Byrum
The Defensive Patent License (DPL) is a new legal mechanism to protect innovators by creating a patent network that is committed to defense and "de-weaponizing" patents. It draws from the theories and values of F/OSS licensing to create obligations that "travel with the patent"--preventing troll from taking over open technologies and pulling them out of the public domain.
A crucial element of formulating a firm’s technological innovation strategy is determining whether and how to protect its technological innovation. Traditionally, economics and strategy have emphasized the importance of vigorously protecting an innovation in order to be the primary beneficiary of the innovation’s rewards, but the decision about whether and to what degree to protect an innovation is actually complex.
The chapter concludes by listing factors the firm should consider in formulating its protection strategy.
Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents, by Tobias Kuban and Matthias Bockbioflux
With the increasing importance of computers and software in the second half of the 20th century, there began a debate about how the shareability of software would reconcile with the compensation of their programmers. The debate ultimately lead to the formalization of the terms Open Source and Free Software, that have since provided the legal foundation upon which the free software movement has thrived. Not least due to the steadily increasing technical possibilities for biohackers to perform professional work, a similar debate is now beginning in the area of biology: How can individuals be creative in a community of sharing but at the same time gain from the fruits of their labor? In this talk we would like to give a short introduction to the legal terms relevant in this context, point out analogies to the software world and address the question, what legal measures exist for free biologists and biohackers, who at the same time feel they should be compensated for their work but also wish to share it with a larger community.

In the activity of IP Management, the process of Protection of the IP is an essential stake. In a fast moving sector as ICT, it is not always easy to define the best protection strategy: patenting is a strong protection mean, but is costs and time consuming. Besides secrecy, many other types of protection (e.g. mark, copyright) also exist and offer a wide range of possibilities. The presented practices focus on issues around protection and propose some practices.

Anton Habjanič: IP policy model at the University of MariborCUBCCE Conference
As the global knowledge economy grows each year, the importance of intellectual property (IP) policy also grows for non-profit organizations such as universities. Pretty much every organization has an IP portfolio of some kind and value, whether or not the organization realizes it as such. As a result, almost every organization needs an IP policy model, even if it’s a simple one.
This presentation is intended to help the universities and other research organizations to set IP policy model to optimise the benefits from the intellectual assets created by their staff and students. The presented model, which was adopted at the University of Maribor, does not provide an IP policy that can be applied across all organizations as there is no “one size fits all” approach to IP management. But, it identifies the key features that need to be considered in order to build a strategic framework for the managing of IP, as for example the issues of ownership, protection and sharing of the economic benefits arising from the commercial exploitation of IP created by researchers in the course of their duties or activities at the university.

Clustering and networking activities are relationship-based activities that support sharing and developing of competences, knowledge and methods. The documents within the toolbox have a clear focus on activities in the area of technology transfer. Networking and clustering activities are critical leverages for all transfer activities presented in this toolbox, namely: opportunities identification, IP management, Human resources and focused value proposition.

The presented Network Scorecard suite is a method aimed at supporting the strategic and operational management processes of networks. It relies on three principles: It is a participatory approach, where the networks key actors jointly define a shared vision of their networks performance. Moreover, its integrated approach covers the management cycle of the network including the definition of a strategy, a plan of action and a scorecard. And finally, it structures a network performance on four dimensions: the benefits to the members, implication of the members, external context and organization. The practice presents all necessary steps to involve the key actors of the network and structure the process.

Cluster Managers have expressed their interest in innovative tools that bundle knowledge and is continuously updated. To meet their demands, MFG has implemented an interactive Cluster Manual based on the Wiki principle. The Cluster Manual gives cluster newbies a ‘basic’ guideline and offers cluster managers an in-depth source for every aspect of cluster issues. Additionally, it documents success stories and best practice examples to build up a repository of internal generated knowledge (‘learn from the best’), gives an overview of the most important literature in the area of Cluster Management and combines all this with the knowledge of experts.

The Balanced Scorecard methodology is used, to give mangers a tool for translating a strategy or a vision into actions and to reach the set targets. The MFG Balanced Scorecard gives cluster managers a tool for managing their cluster initiatives by defining concrete objectives based on their vision and strategy. The Balanced Scorecard methodology helps to clarify and translate vision and strategy, to communicate and link strategic objectives with actions, to plan, set and align strategic initiatives and to enhance strategic feedback and learning.

Professional tools for cluster or network management are more important than ever as the management plays a decisive role for the success or the failure of a cluster initiative/network. Today there are no general cluster/network management methods available to optimize the management. The presented practices use the Balanced Scorecard method which gives the mangers a tool to professionalize the management and to monitor activities including measuring successes.

FITT Toolbox: International Technology Transfer NetworksFITT
Many international networks are active in the field of technology transfer and give the opportunity to: be in touch with pairs at the international level, access to training and seminars, exchange of good practices and experiences, find partners or investors, promote an innovation and much more. The choice of the network of which you could be a member can be a challenge. The goal of this practice is to give you a quick overview of the existing organisations, and can be a guide for the choice of such a network.
The presented online cooperation platform was developed to give cluster managers and other cluster stakeholders access to current information and trends. It is set up in form of a Social Network on the topic ‘cluster management’ and offers users/members a central information tool, where knowledge is documented and exchange is fostered. Therefore it is an efficient way to foster exchange between experts, to build up a repository of knowledge including success stories and to present the topic to a broader public.
www.FITT-for-Innovation.eu
The network support services support the networks' sustainability by providing a set of logistics and communication services. Access to these services is conditioned by an agreement between the technology transfer officer and the network and the compliance with a charter. This agreement creates the conditions for a long-term cooperation and a win win situation: the networks gain access to free logistics and communication services, while the transfer officer gains access to strategic information from the field, the opportunity to develop specific partnerships and legitimacy.

FITT Toolbox: Technology Transfer (TT) CollaborationFITT
The chapter TT collaboration addresses the topic of networking at two levels: Firstly, the added value of participating in networks for people active in technology transfer is highlighted at an international level. Additionally, at a local level, technology transfer network with local actors reinforces their local embeddings and grants a privileged, neutral and legitimate channel for two-ways transfer between transfer officers and other stakeholders.
