This paper describes strategic management for Intellectual Property (IP).
The key pillars of Hitachi High-Technologies (HHT) intellectual property activities are three core activities that aim to combine a business strategy, research and development strategy, and intellectual strategy coordinated by a management strategy that is underpinned by a customer-first philosophy.
To this end, HHT have established a cycle whereby HHT identify the issues (needs), create the IP, and manage IP once they are in force under an organizational arrangement that coordinates the IP group and laboratories of Hitachi, Ltd. with HHT business strategy department, sales department, design department, and IP department.
