Important results from the project

Development of an IP strategy for Kobolde & Partners AB, was clearly defined from the beginning in two objectives. Relationship to others´ IP and rights agreements - Business risk is reduced which can simplify funding Protection of own IP - With a clear IP strategy, Kobolde can more easily expand through a clear relationship with subcontractors and customers with whom there is no close contact. The internal knowledge building at Kobolde has been as important as the project´s results. The project has led to a thorough and implemented action plan
