Making Innovation Pay: People Who Turn IP Into Shareholder Value

by Kevin Rivette (Foreword), Bruce Berman (Editor)

Many companies and executives talk about patents, but few can demonstrate significant returns from them. Who are the elite companies and managers that have created wealth and profit from IP rights, and how have they done it? What do they advise others do to achieve higher profit margins, better returns on costly R&D, and increased shareholder value? This reader-friendly book focuses on ten companies and managers/advisors who have successfully implemented wealth-generating patent programs--and shows you how you can do it too.

[Mark Bullard · Rating 5 out of 5]

While the book is 20 years old, I suspect most of it is still very relevant and all of it is informative to an intellectual property practitioner today.

It is essentially a collection of essays by some of the biggest influences in the IP space in the United States at the time of its writing. Understanding how they think and their motivations helps once understand how we got to where we are now.

Highly recommend.
