TLDR
In this article, the impact of implementing Industry 40 (I40) on the management of IP in collaborative inter-organisational interconnected networks is investigated in the UK manufacturing industry, where formal contractual tools are being deployed to support IP management in collaborative projects.Abstract:
Intellectual Property (IP) is increasingly recognised as a paramount intangible asset influencing the value of companies, as well as their corporate strategies and management This paper focuses on the impact of implementing Industry 40 (I40) on the management of IP in collaborative inter-organisational interconnected networks Such interconnected networks will allow groups of companies, often competitors and/or customers, to share data and to collaborate in the design, development and manufacture of complex products and/or services, exchanging large amounts of proprietary technical data Furthermore, this paper explores how companies can benefit from the interconnected network capabilities, whilst protecting them from any risks regarding the vulnerability of IP assets to misappropriation, unauthorized use or leakage The focus of this study is the UK manufacturing industry, where formal contractual tools are being deployed to support IP management in collaborative projects It relies on an in-depth study of IP management practices in the UK manufacturing supply chain to critically assess the current state of practice in order to provide answers to the risks emanating from IP management in this new and complex collaborative setting This paper concludes that IP and contractual tools deployed in this new environment must be underpinned by the business strategy and the business model In addition, changes to organisational structures are necessary to bring together functions that typically operate in silos in many manufacturing businesses, namely: Engineering, Information Technology, Commercial and Legal Departmentsread more

Industry 4.0:The challenges to intellectual property in Manufacturing
Abstract: Intellectual Property (IP) is increasingly recognised as a paramount intangible asset influencing the companies’ value, corporate strategies and its management. This paper focuses on the impact of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) on the management of IP in inter-organisational interconnected collaborative networks. Such interconnected networks will allow groups of companies, often competitors and customers, to share data and to collaborate in the design, development and manufacture of complex products and services, exchanging large amounts of proprietary technical data.This article is part of a larger research project focused in the UK manufacturing industry which relies on an in-depth study of IP management in the UK manufacturing supply chain to critically assess the current practices and to provide recommendations to mitigate the challenges related to IP in this new and complex collaborative setting.The study concludes that IP and contractual tools deployed in this new environment must be underpinned by the business strategy and the business model. In addition, changes to organisational structures are necessary to bring together functions that typically operate in silos in many manufacturing businesses, namely: engineering, information technologies, commercial and legal departments.
