When the balance is Valuation getting biased, there is always a way to correct it. There are many solutions to explore in that sense.” — Jean-Baptiste Soufron Patent Quality Wikimedia Foundation - CERSA Paris 2 GIO 2.0 Report The very nature of innovation is changing as economic activity shifts from physical to intellectual assets. Products of the mind are often patented, making patents a key currency in the 21st century knowledge-based economy. Many of the world’s patent systems were developed decades or even centuries ago to promote invention of physical goods, and have not evolved to include mechanisms needed to support this expanded role. While emphasis on patenting proprietary invention continues to intensify, so does the adoption of open standards and collaborative business models. Organizations endeavor to find the ideal balance on this continuum of innovation. The importance of sharing, protecting and leveraging intellectual property was a consistent theme throughout IBM’s Global Innovation Outlook, a worldwide conversation with 248 thought leaders from nearly three dozen countries and regions, representing 178 organizations. One powerful idea from the GIO was to create a wiki—a new media Web 2.0 tool that enables documents to be collaboratively written through a common Web site—to address the intellectual property marketplace.
