How do enterprises manage intellectual property rights

1. Enterprise leaders should attach great importance to intellectual property management, and the importance of enterprise leaders and decision makers to intellectual property management is the key to the smooth development of this work. Leaders should strengthen their awareness of intellectual property rights, put intellectual property management on the agenda of leadership work, and give necessary guarantees in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

2. Do a good job in the construction of enterprise intellectual property management institutions, which are the only institutions for enterprise intellectual property work. Large and medium-sized enterprises should have specialized intellectual property management departments and full-time personnel, and intellectual property management institutions can be established independently or placed in the legal affairs department of enterprises; Small enterprises that cannot set up specialized agencies should also arrange part-time staff to do this work. Many advanced enterprises at home and abroad attach great importance to this point. For example, AT&T has more than 250 employees in the patent department alone and obtains more than 3,000 patents every year. Hitachi's intellectual property department has more than 320 patent managers, and the annual patent application volume is 6.5438+0.3 million; China Haier Group Co., Ltd. has an independent legal affairs center with more than 20 full-time staff, including those who are specially responsible for enterprise patent legal affairs and trademark legal affairs.

3. Establish and improve the intellectual property management system. Patents, trademarks and trade secrets are the most common and important intellectual property rights of enterprises.
