Since 2003, ipCapital Group has hosted an annual executive retreat designed
to share actionable intellectual property (IP) strategies that maximize value
and minimize costs. To foster an environment that encourages interactive discussion
and networking opportunities, space is limited to 50 attendees.
The 2005 conference provided a tangible framework that integrated the core
portfolio of intellectual capital, strategic IP management processes, and tools
to maximize ROI. The 2006 model was expanded to include “sources of innovation”
that provide conceptual definitions and means to achieve ROI when new business
tactics are needed. Whether you develop a new business model, look globally,
seek outside collaboration, promote team behavior, scan for innovation, or combine
business & technology, innovative business strategies and IP can be merged
to produce powerful synergies that maximize economic results.
