Intellectual Property 
Strategies

How inventions are made. 
1. Need for something that does not exist at the market ??? 
2. Help someone do his job to better way 
 Olive oil harvesting machines 
3. Combination of two or more well-known products to produce 
another product with new properties 
 Algon: aspirin and caffeine in a pill for headache 
4. Technical solution based on the observation of nature 
 The way the dragonfly moves around 
Biomimetics 
By studding the nature one can come into conclusions on how nature found technical solutions 
after 3.8 billion years 
 Nature has already solved many of the problems of everyday life and in various fields, e.g.: 
 energy  food production  climate control  chemistry  transport  packaging, etc. 
 The study of the shape, structure, function or biologically produced 
substances (such as enzymes or silk) and biological mechanisms and 
processes (such as protein synthesis or photosynthesis) can lead to the 
creation of similar products or mechanisms for the benefit of mankind. 
Examples of inventions. 
Observation of nature . 
Mercedes-Benz bionic car 
 This model achieves 20% lower fuel consumption and 80% lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). 
 The diesel engine of 140 hp, free from the strict management to limit pollutants, achieves extremely low 
consumption, with just 2.8 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers at a speed of 90 km/h 
Examples of inventions. 
Observation of nature . 
Speedo Fastskin FSII Olympic Games, Athens, 2004 
Shark skin feature inspired low hydrodynamic surface drag: high efficiency swimsuits design with antibacterial effect. Nature's unique design at microscale provides enormous reduction in surface drag of water close to the body (Riblet effect). Arrows show anti-microbial features mimicking shark skin micro-topography. 
Biomimetics material and design.pdf (Elsevier) http://astro.temple.edu/ sthsieh/BIO5466_2011/Singh%20et%20al_2011(MatDes).pdf 
Examples of inventions. 
Observation of nature . 
The structure of the shark skin prevents adhesion of organisms onto it. 
This model has been transferred into ships, thus saving vast amounts of fuel.

Examples of inventions. 
Observation of nature . 
Could Butterfly wings improve Photovoltaics? 
In 2009, scientists discovered that on the wings of 
butterfly there are flakes, which act as natural solar 
panels absorbing light in a highly efficient manner. 
Using the wing of the butterfly as a model, researchers 
improved dye-sensitive solar cells. 
Examples (continued): 
5. Novel use of a known product 
Use of nitroglycerin in the manufacture medicines 
for the heart 
6. Improving previous inventions 
7. Inventions with unexpected properties 
Is it always successful ? 
 1700 patents ! 
The Nespresso case 
Nespresso is a subsidiary of Swiss Nestle ( more than 20,000 patent applications). 
It has a turnover of $ 5 bil ion ( 25% of the parent's company income) 
More than 20 mil ion coffee capsules were sold by Nespresso. 
More than 12 mil ion coffee machines were sold by Nespresso since 1986 
Has more than 4,500 employees 
It is present in 50 countries 
 Introduced a closed system: 
the Nespresso coffee machines use only its own coffee capsules 
1976: Patent application, inventor: ERIC FAVRE 
1982: Target: the market of restaurants and bars. 
1986: The Nespresso is created. Sales are not going very well! 
1988: The new CEO changes marketing strategy. 
1991: Target: Households. Nespresso gets into international markets 
1997: First campaigns appear. 
1998: Focus on e-commerce 
2006: A "luxury" character is introduced for the product. George Clooney is the star for Nespresso. 
2008: Sales increased by average of 35% for years 2000-2008 
2012: Market expansion with low cost machines. 
2013. European patent is lost and market is open 
 
Apparatus for making beverages (household machines or implements for straining 
6/7/2015 
Why NESPRESSO dominated the market? 
Always the same good quality of coffee to excessive price that consumer is ready to 
pay 
It creates a sense of "everyday luxury" to the average consumer (George Clooney, 
expensive lounges, well-designed coffee machines and capsules, etc.) 
Cost of capsulized coffee 7-8 times more than the price of ground Colombian coffee in 
supermarkets 
The "corporate name" justify sales 3X more expensive sales than the competition 
Marketing key point for domination 
Expansion into many kinds of coffee, chocolate, tea and other beverages 
 Result: Beverage market reformation 
 Approximately 15 billion coffee capsules were sold in 2013 worldwide 
Absolut requirement before applying for a patent . 
Do not disclose in any way the content of our 
invention before we file an application for a patent. 
Three basic steps for the protection of inventions 
1st step: 
Novelty Search (what is the state of the art in the field of the invention) 
2nd step: 
 National Application for a patent 
 
3rd step: 
European Application for a patent or PCT application, declaring 
priority rights from the National application 
WHERE should I apply for protection 
… worldwide? !!! 
How many countries? 
In principle, the issue is … MONEY! 
 in countries that you can market the invention 
 in emerging markets (in view of 20 years) 
 low cost production countries 
How to protect your invention? 
by: 
• a patent 
• a utility model 
• Design 
• other (i.e. Semiconductor topography) 
Why a national application has to be filed first? 
• For national security reasons (Law for National Security) 
• You can use priority rights from the first filing 
• You are entitled for a quick Search Report 
• The Search Report has indications of novelty useful for second filings 
• Fees are lower compared to the European procedure 
LICENSES 
Positive examples 
IBM: $ 1.7 billion revenues in 2001 only from licenses to third parties 
(92-02 of 10 years submitted 22,357 patent applications) 
Rambus Inc. (advanced technology for microchips): 100% of revenue from licensing 
 
Stanford University: $ 100 mil/year from licenses 
 
Negative examples 
The IBM - Apple - Microsoft in the field of personal computers 
Sony's Beta and VHS video systems 
Conclusion: Whoever grants licenses to third parties 
 establishes the industry standards 
What is the strategy of choice 
for a company or an inventor; 
I. Theory of " Castle and Moat" II. Theory of "The Tree and Forest burned forest" III. Theory of " The shot gun" IV. Theory of " Progressive protection " 
Theory of " Castle and Moat" 
 A Castle of technology is created protected by a moat of patents, which are filed 
in certain period. 
 The core of the invention is protected and any visible variation, method of 
manufacture and use thereof. 
  Ideal strategy for well funded Startups  Introduction of a new product into the market from existing company. 
Example: Gemstar-TV (NASDAQ): 
 Applied for 200 patents for a single technology, which 
it was believed to be the core for the consolidation of Interactive TV, internet and personal computer. 
Theory of "The Tree and the burned forest" 
 Select & protect the strongest tree = protect the core of the invention 
 "Burn" all the other trees = publication of any other visible secondary idea, production 
technology, alternative implementation and application 
 
 Good choice in cases of limited funds for patenting of inventions 
Example: 
IBM, Hewlett Packard and Xerox have and use their 
own official online databases for publications. 
Theory of " The shot gun" 
Among a large number of inventions relating to various aspects, wil be 
one which will be commercially successful. 
 Good choice for large, well-funded R & D departments . 
Example: 
During the 70s and 80s Mobil Chemicals launched dozens of Patent 
applications for simple polyethylene products. 
The ultimate success of the plastic bag with relief notches became an 
industry standard. 
Theory of " Progressive protection " 
Protect each new variant, improvement or addition of an invention if and 
when it emerged during research. 
 Easy cost control way of protecting inventions. 
 A commonly used approach by small 
companies and private researchers 
. for innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, 
employees in R & D, inventors . 
If you can't sell it, don't invent it! 
… unless inventions is your hobby! 
Thank you …

   Your Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) dollars may be able to be used to pay for co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles. But that's not all. You may also be able to use your HRA money to pay for many expenses in the following categories: Medical, Dental Care, Eye Care, and Over-the-Counter (OTC) medications. Eligible items can vary by employer, so check the specifics of your particular HRA plan.
