European Intellectual Property Institutes Network - Innovation Society

Project description

Guiding inventors in navigating the life cycle of IP-intensive assets

The intricate web of intellectual property (IP) poses a challenge to Europe's innovation landscape. In response, the European Intellectual Property Institutes Network (EIPIN) has launched the pioneering EIPIN IS project. This endeavour delves into the role of IP as a complex adaptive system within innovation, aiming to enhance Europe's capacity for sustainable economic growth. By providing reliable conclusions and recommendations derived from doctoral IP research, the project addresses the adaptive complexities of innovation cycles. In addition, EIPIN IS focuses on training inventors and entrepreneurs, guiding them through the life cycle of IP-intensive assets and the transformation of intangible inventions into marketable products. With its broad impact potential and interdisciplinary approach, this partnership has the power to reshape Europe's innovation landscape.

Objective

EIPIN IS is a comprehensive project at the forefront of multidisciplinary research, examining the role of intellectual property (IP) as a complex adaptive system in innovation. The focus will be on the European regulatory framework for fostering innovation with the aim of enhancing Europe’s capacity for innovation-based sustainable economic growth.

The longstanding European Intellectual Property Institutes Network (EIPIN), a consortium of leading research and training centres in the area of intellectual property, is the driving force behind the project.
The primary research objective of the programme is to provide political leaders and stakeholders reliable conclusions and recommendations in the form of doctoral IP research on how to deal with the adaptive complexities of innovation cycles that secure economic benefits and uphold justice in the innovation society.

The training objectives of the programme focus on the development of ESR’s capacity to guide inventors and entrepreneurs in the life-cycle of IP-intensive assets and the process of translating intangible inventions into commercially viable products. The programme provides for an unprecedented environment for ESRs, based on the award of a joint or double doctoral degree.

The project results will be disseminated in a way that it has an impact on the norm-setting at the national, European and international level. The involvement of industry associations representing numerous undertakings multiplies the engagement of non-academic actors. Furthermore, the realisation of this ambitious interdisciplinary programme open to ESRs from all domains of sciences will provide a solid foundation for further cross-cutting research in the area of innovation policies, overcoming traditional divisions between faculties and disciplines. This partnership has a high potential for the broadest possible dissemination of its results as well as becoming a role model in Europe.
