A report prepared by the IfM and published by the European Commission looks at the extent to which Intellectual Property (IP) facilitates or hinders Open Innovation, particularly in relation to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The institute is part of a winning bid led by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust to host one of four new UK hubs supporting the adoption of innovations in healthcare.

On 21 September, the IfM-led project group Automated Licensing Payment Systems hosted a workshop with leading intellectual property (IP) experts and scholars to discuss use cases and challenges of the Bill-of-IP (BoIP) – a new concept for digital IP management.

Using the IfM’s IP Strategy Roadmapping tool, Pratheeba Vimalnath and Graham Bell helped the winning organisations to think through their approach to their burgeoning intellectual property.
