January 20th at Copenhagen Business School Crossroad Innovation arranged an IP-workshop.
The objective of the workshop was to create a fact base and outline for IP framework we can develop into JOIN’s IP management system for the users of the platform.
The presenters were
- Johan Løje, Danske Designeres IP attorney: Industrial Property Law from the designer’s perspective
- Anders Sundelin, VP Business Operations CIP Professional Services: Management of Intellectual Assets and Property in collaborative business
- models
- David Dencker, Director Crossroad Innovation: How Elephant Design is addressing the IP challenge
- Mette Merete Andersen, LEGO Juris: How LEGO is addressing the IP Challenge in co-creation
The IP workshop focused on
- Share knowledge and experience
- Create a fact base
- Outline a framework for an IP management system
Based on research it has become evident that IP is the elephant in the room. Designers are afraid to give away their designs and companies are afraid to open up their innovation process. However JOIN is operating in a field where there are no clear standards and no best practice.
The outcome of the workshop was a preliminary IP framework and an IP strategy for the JOIN platform.
