There are three main types of intellectual property that are relevant to the R D Manager in a chemical or pharmaceutical company. These are inventions in the form of Patents, the company Trademarks, and Trade Secrets, often called Know-How.

The exploitation of intellectual property has to be considered early in the R D cycle. The choice of the exploitation pathway materially affects the scale and type of R D resource that will be needed. For instance, an opportunity may be further developed in house by joint venture if one or more partner is needed or by licensing the technology if it is outside the company s area of expertise. 

Researchers query interactions flow across the public networks (e.g., the Internet), resulting in security exposure. For example, a pharmaceutical company or a biotechnology company could figure out the research topics and approaches of its competitor by sniffing the data traffic between the competitor and the public data banks. Therefore protection of intellectual properties can be compromised and become a challenge when employing this type of traditional solution approach.

A related issue is that of intellectual property, which is rather complicated, particularly in the area of applications of SWNT. While the number of patents related to the production of single-walled nanotubes is considerably smaller than those related to applications, it is still too large a number to mention all here. Table 13.2 illustrates some of the earlier and more significant U.S. patents for the synthesis of SWNT (excluding MWNT and DWNT). The table includes the type of synthesis method described in each patent. 

In sum. Transferable Intellectual Property Rights are a type of reward system that (1) is extremely inefficient in the way it raises funds to reward innovation, (2) offers no plausible methodology according to which it could allocate rewards, and (3) discriminates against small innovative firms in favor of large ones. 

One of the most important aspects of entrepreneurship is protecting the idea, referred to as intellectual property. Intellectual property can take many forms, from logos, to products, to business processes, as some examples. Types of protection include copyrights, trademarks, and patents (Allen, 2003).
