In this proposal we aim to work with our partner the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) to gather evidence on the extent of recourse to patent protection in the UK economy, the use of patents by firms and on the strategies being used by firms to manage their IP and circumvent the problems caused by overlapping patent rights or 'patent thickets'. We bring new academic thinking on these issues (in the US and UK) to bear on a small scale survey where the user community is involved in generating and gathering the data needed by them. By doing this we will be able to plug important evidentiary gaps about the recourse to patenting for innovative firms and also the use of patents though licensing and cross-licensing in the UK-wide economy. In addition a detailed survey of UK IP management practices based on similar surveys conducted in the US will enable a deeper understanding of the patent thicket question as well the measures UK firms are taking to gain 'freedom to operate'. We expect that this understanding of IP management practices will be a valuable input in IPOs training programs to raise awareness in small and medium firms and can also inform IP policy in the UK.

在本提案中，我们的目标是与我们的合作伙伴英国知识产权局（IPO）合作，收集有关英国经济中专利保护追索权的程度，公司使用专利的情况以及公司管理其知识产权和规避重叠专利权或“专利丛林”造成的问题的策略的证据。我们将这些问题的新学术思想（在美国和英国）带到一个小规模的调查中，在这个调查中，用户社区参与生成和收集他们所需的数据。通过这样做，我们将能够填补有关创新公司申请专利的重要证据空白，以及在英国经济中通过许可和交叉许可使用专利的问题。此外，根据在美国进行的类似调查，对英国知识产权管理实践进行详细调查，将有助于更深入地了解专利丛林问题以及英国公司为获得“经营自由”而采取的措施。我们希望这种对知识产权管理实践的理解将成为IPO培训计划的宝贵投入，以提高中小企业的认识，并为英国的知识产权政策提供信息。
