| Nærings- og regionalutvikling |
| |
Nærings- og regionalutvikling er den største satsningsfeltet i selskapet. Innen dette fagområdet gjennomfører vi individuelt tilpassede analyser og evalueringer. Vi tror at alle problemstillinger, bransjer og regioner er unike. Derfor strukturerer vi alle våre prosjekter individuelt, typisk med en kombinasjon av flere forskjellige metoder - både kvalitative og kvantitative.
Økonomisk regionalutvikling avhenger i høy grad av det regionale næringslivets konkurranseevne. Derfor fokuserer vi på hvordan både virksomheter, institusjoner og offentlige myndigheter kan styrke den næringsmessige utvikling.

| Project description: |
An evaluation of how Danish companies exploit its intellectual property rights (IPR)- i.e. patents, trademarks, designs and utility models - in a business-oriented way. The focus has so far been on whether or not companies use the IPR system and what problems have been connected with using the IPR system. This investigation, however, looks into how companies make best use of their IPR once the rights are in the companies' IPR portfolio, e.g. by outlicensing patent rights. The investigation is based on both interviews with a number of selected companies and on an online questionnaire. |
