What is Commercialization of Industrial Design & its Benefits?
With the changing times turning towards a more innovative, idea-driven and creative civilisation, intellectual property rights are of great worth in the economy. Design is an expression of creativity produced by an intellectual mind and the creator should reap benefits out of it by its commercialization. The method of using intellect and creating something entirely unique is very intensive, in terms of both time and capital.
Value of your novel and original design lies in its monetization and not merely in creation. It is because of unique designs that sometimes drive the market and give you competitive escalation in the industry. Hence, commercializing your creation will allow you to have a fair share from society against publicly disclosing your creation.
Assignment vs Licensing
- Assignment: The complete transfer of ownership from the owner to any other interested party, where the assignee settles to pay the amount of such intellectual property rights at a lump-sum price.
- Licensing: Provides a right to a licensee on a temporary basis for consideration and also retains the ownership rights of such design of the article. Licensing agreements are basically long-term business relations or partnerships.
It is pretty much common to conduct due diligence and signing of preparatory agreements such as Non-Disclosure Agreements and Material Transfer Agreements, which in turn helps both parties mitigate their risks while negotiating. Also, the rights granted to the licensee must be specified clearly in the agreement so that the licensee can exploit the rights optimally and any confusion is avoided.
How to Evaluate the Worth of an Industrial Design?
Before commercializing your original designs you need to know about their worth in the market. It requires a valuation check which also helps us estimate market trends as well as market behaviours. IP valuation is a very important part of commercialization — it gives chase to competitors, and whoever first taps the change in the industry monopolises the market of the same.
- It helps in realizing the true worth of your creativity viz. its market value.
- The valuation of the design is affected by factors like how people respond to your design and its demand in the industry.
- A distinguished valuation analysis helps in creating a better licensing agreement and realizing maximum benefit from your invention.
- A better valuation for your creativity helps you reach informed decisions.
Once you know the worth of your design, then you can reap the fruit of your efforts by licensing it exclusively or non-exclusively. Intellectual property rights help to create a future for an entity, open the doors for entry to the market and help escalate businesses.
