CambridgeIP's Ilian Iliev co-authored a working paper published by Cambridge-based Climate Strategies exploring technology transfer patterns between developed and emerging economies. Patents are important in stimulating innovation, but also in facilitating technology transfer and the diffusion of best practices. The authors focused on the Clean Coal industry as a location of increasing levels of international technology transfer. In conjunction with Climate Strategy researchers and leading industry experts, CambridgeIP developed a novel patent dataset representing 7,752 patents in four areas of clean coal technology. The dataset was used to quantify international collaboration trends between major industrial corporations, Universities and other participants in the industry. Among other findings, the analysis revealed the growing importance of the Chinese economy as both a destination for patenting activities by assignees in other economies and and increasingly important location of innovation: as revealed by geographic location of inventors.
The working paper is part of Climate Strategies' International Support for Domestic Climate Policies (ISDCP) project, led by Dr.Karsten Neuhoff at Cambridge University. Climate Strategies aims to assist governments in solving the collective action problem of climate change. Its supporters include the Carbon Trust, European Climate Foundation, EU governments and other stakeholders.

CambridgeIP’s Ilian Iliev was a guest contributor to BusinessXL's special October edition focused on 'Why IP matters'. In his article Ilian argues that despite the downturn, a comprehensive and strategically integrated IP strategy remains key to long-term value creation. As part of such approach, UK companies should increase their patenting focus on current and future growth markets such as China and other major Asian markets and manufacturing destinations. BusinessXL is an award-winning magazine for growing companies and entrepreneurs. In its last few editions the magazine has sought to identify growth strategies that can beat the recession.

CambridgeIP was pleased to contribute to this year’s Innovation UK report on the topic of IP strategy. An effective IP strategy can become a centerpiece for a company’s internationalisation strategy: providing it with leverage and protection across diverse markets, facilitating the generation of additional revenue through licensing activity, as well as a “currency” for negotiating with large corporate partners. We provide some examples of how the planning and implementation of an IP strategy can be achieved as the core of business strategy. You can find CambridgeIP’s contribution under the ‘Business Solutions’ category here (direct link - here).
