Open IP when:

 

  • It can boost demand for complementary offerings and provide new opportunities to create additional IP.

     

  • You need to lower barriers to entry or enlarge the pool of talent addressing a particular R&D problem.

     

  • The advantages of pooling competencies and reducing R&D costs outweigh the benefits of having exclusive rights to the knowledge produced.

     

  • A shared infrastructure will encourage innovation and interoperability with ecosystem partners.

     

  • A latent pool of knowledge could be tapped with a modicum of organization.

     

  • Reciprocal-sharing relationships will develop relationship capital with collaborators.

     

  • Pre-empting the property rights of competitors shifts the locus of competition or enhances your freedom of action.

     

  • Openness removes unnecessary friction in collaborative projects.

    Keep your IP closed when:

     

  • Your end products—and particularly your crown jewels—are at stake.

     

  • Proprietary IP gives you needed leverage in cross-licensing and trading relationships.

     

  • IP rights are essential to stimulate and reward investment, particularly when investment in the next generation of technology would otherwise be underfunded.

     

  • Your technology or IP alone provides the gold standard for your industry.
