Abstract

The objective of this paper is to provide an IC-FC-OC-IPR framework for efficient intellectual property management (IPM) of an organisation. The nature of this research is exploratory. The framework describes context and position of intellectual property rights in a complex organisational capital and acts as a starting-point for researchers to do research in an area of IPM. Three new constructs are introduced which will categorise IPM at three different levels. IPM activity matrices can be developed using three constructs and related three measurement parameters suggested in the paper. Integration of innovation process and IPM is practiced in Fortune 500 organisations but considering organisations in developing world, the scenario is different. These organisations are struggling for efficient IPM. This paper gives structured framework to address this research gap. The limitation of this paper is that the framework has been validated in electrical industry sector.
