Quality in patent information retrieval – Communication as the key factor

Factors That Impact Knowledge Dissemination in Projects

“…The literature review produced 36 factors that impact knowledge dissemination; these are summarised in Table 1 together with references to their sources. [24], [29], [33], [34], [35] 2 Allies & relationship [20], [33], [35]- [40] 3 Language & articulability [20], [23], [35], [41], [42] 4 Attainment of expert knowledge [20], [24], [33], [35], [36], [43] 5 Assessment of recipient's knowledge base [20], [33] , [42] combined in Factor 9…”

The Impact and Effectiveness of Support Measures for Exploiting Intellectual Property

“…i) ease of identification of the service, ii) the competence of the service operating staff, iii) timely delivery and the provision of information on different IP strategies.  Portfolio view (Availability of support for SMEs, coherence, overall effectiveness)  Design of the services (Preparatory activities, clearness of the goals, topics addressed and focus on IP management explicitly, resource endowment)  Implementation (Governance structures, marking activities and visibility, integration, individual SME tailed approaches, competence of service operating staff, inter-institutional cooperation, costs, interaction with private sector, referral activities)  Performance (User outreach, added value, user satisfaction) But other writers (Mueller and Nyfeler, 2011) have focused upon more specific steps that relate to the process of innovation itself, building up a profile of the activities of innovation and the factors that ensure success. Their approach adopts a classification of the key phases of innovation with a mapping to specific patenting activities.…”

“…But this has not taken the difficulty out of patenting process. Secondly, the level of provision has risen because governments see the IPR system, rightly, as complex and difficult and 20 Source: (Mueller and Nyfeler, 2011) prone to market failures. Small and medium enterprises, with little or no capability in the management of their intellectual property continue to face major challenges in determining the best course of action to protect their inventions.…”
