Exploring the Essential Features of “Making Innovation Pay – Bruce Berman”

Making Innovation Pay
People Who Turn IP Into Shareholder Value
Berman, Bruce (Editor)

In Making Innovation Pay, 10 proven IP practitioners offer perspective for understanding what is necessary to turn business rights into financial assets. These provocative and highly readable chapters, each written by a leading voice in the patent world, convey how they generate tens and sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars for their companies, clients, or themselves, and how others can, too. The book discusses why most senior managers fail when it comes to IP and don’t even know it. These success stories will show why and how shareholders, CEOs, managers, and others need to be much smarter about IP or become a victim of it. It answers difficult questions, including: Why a company’s crown jewel inventions should be made available to others and when? And how to measure patent performance?

Description

Praise For Making Innovation Pay: People Who Turn IP into Shareholder Value

“Bruce Berman has persuaded, arm-twisted, and otherwise cajoled today’s most successful patent practitioners into telling their stories and allowing him to tell theirs. Until now, no book has discussed innovation in so resolutely clear-eyed, personal, and practical business terms . . . [Making Innovation Pay] breaks new ground by giving voice to resourceful and articulate individuals who have the courage to brave new trails and the generosity to share how they do it.”
–Kevin Rivette, Vice President, IP Strategy, IBM Corporation

“Drawing upon an all-star lineup of IP thought leaders and practitioners, Bruce Berman, yet again, knocks the cover off the ball. Making Innovation Pay provides critical insight into both the art and the craftsmanship of those who successfully shape today’s IP landscape and are entrusted with developing tomorrow’s. Berman brings clarity, insight, and leadership to all those who find themselves–willingly or not–at the leading edge of IP issues in today’s economy.”
–John A. Squires, Chief Patent Counsel, Goldman, Sachs & Co.

“Innovation and enterprise distinguish the US from other nations. The contributors to Making Innovation Pay, diverse IP success stories, take us full circle with strong perspectives on invention and profit. Berman’s book is as much framed by a vision of American history as it is by business strategy, technology, or finance.”
–Hon. Q. Todd Dickinson, Vice President & Chief IP Counsel, General Electric Company; Under Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of the US Patent and Trademark Office, 1998-2001
