Patents are great for the inventor wanting to protect their creative license—but how does it impact the potential leaps in innovation that could be made utilising patented technologies? Just look at how quickly the world of AI has benefitted from open-source technology. Most industries, especially the creatives, have seen rapid advancements simply because human creativity has been let loose to explore, play, and ideate on top of these free tools. What shouldn’t we gatekeep and who should be protected when it comes to patents? Check out my latest conversation with Milan Ivosevic to hear more!

Additive manufacturing in medical technology - innovation or risk?   A question that requires to be addressed with a structured approach. At MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair, my colleague Carolin Schulz and I presented a guideline on technology implementation and technical risk management. With plenty of new impressions and exciting discussions, I am eagerly awaiting further innovative additively manufactured applications in medical technology - reliably and economically realized.   Big thanks to MedicalMountains GmbH and MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair for the invitation to the Tech Forum and the excellent organization.

When we say that we purpose-built our organization, what do we mean? Forty years ago, MPE Inc. was founded as a precision metal fabricator for the medical and electronic industries. Over time, our close partnerships with leading MedTech OEMs led us to pivot towards mobility solutions, revealing a widespread demand for a more comprehensive contract manufacturer. Recognizing this gap, we intentionally structured our organization to elevate traditional contract manufacturing approaches. We sought to challenge the legacy mindset prevalent in medical device development and production. As we continue to grow and expand our capabilities, we've emerged as the world's sole capital medical equipment commercialization platform, offering seamless end-to-end services encompassing product design, development, and manufacturing. Our evolution has been purposeful, driven by our commitment to meeting the needs of both MedTech OEMs and the ultimate beneficiaries of accelerating medical technology development.

This is how we bring innovations from the Weizmann Institute of Science’s labs to the market in 7 steps: 1️⃣ Research: Weizmann scientists discover something with potential commercial value. 2️⃣ Disclosure: Scientists present their promising inventions to Yeda. 3️⃣ Evaluation: Market potential, technical feasibility, and IP status. 4️⃣ Protection: Patent filing or IP rights to safeguard the invention 5️⃣ Marketing: Promotion of protected technology to potential licensees. 6️⃣ Licensing: Yeda Licenses the technology to an existing company or new spinoff. 7️⃣ Product development & commercialization: Licensee further develops, manufactures, and sells. 🔃Repeat the cycle One of the most important elements of this tech transfer cycle is that revenue funnels back into funding further research and progress "for the benefit of humanity" – our motto at the Weizmann Institute and Yeda. 🔗 Visit the link in the comments to discover some of our success stories. #TechnologyTransfer #Innovation #Weizmann

"The whole is other than the sum of the parts." – Kurt Koffka We have been fortunate enough to work with a wide variety of partners over the past decade, and continue to do, from large global OEM’s at the top of their game through to SME’s, RTO’s and universities all with a common desire to push the boundaries to deliver more effective solutions delivered with high efficiency. We are extremely proud of and grateful for these collaborations. In the article below we outline the benefits we believe companies gain from business and research collaborations. #businesscollaboration #sharedgoals #researchanddevelopment

“It was an invigorating experience to have hosted renowned TRIZ master Dr. Sergei Ikovenko and Mr. Tito Kishan Vemuri @ Schaeffler India Corporate office to give us an overview of TRIZ”. Topics of interaction ranging from "Evolution of the science of innovation, importance of having a goal-based approach, innovative methods for problem solving" and how majority of companies are now working on Design for Patentability concept. The discussion also focused on how Schaeffler India associates can be equipped with tools/ techniques that will help to generate meaningful intellectual property for implementation into its products and processes. #Wepioneermotion
