Intellectual property monetization by R&D institutions in India and China

The forces of globalization and competitiveness have led to an increased focus on IP monetization for R&D organizations in India and China. The paper analyses the activities related to commercialization of IP undertaken by such institutes. IP monetization is recommended for attaining higher growth, increased revenues and self-sustenance. Insights have been drawn from companies and successful R&D establishments across the globe. Capabilities need to be built on the aspects of technology landscape analysis, market potential estimation, valuation and pricing of IP, and commercialization of IP. Appropriate models have been proposed for developing such capabilities for deriving value from IP developed by the R&D organizations.
