Principal Brigide Mattar recently shared her
thoughts on developing an effective strategy for patent protection
in product design and engineering in an interview for PLAN
magazine.
Brigide discusses a variety of themes including managing patent
risks, confidentiality, reverse engineering, patents in the context
of technical collaborations and developing and managing a strategic
patent portfolio.
On reverse engineering, Brigide notes "reverse-engineering
processes are becoming more and more sophisticated and work even
when it comes to complex technologies." Once a product enters
the public domain, the possibility for a third party to reverse
engineer that product becomes a reality. Without effective
IP/patent protection, little can usually be done to stop that third
party from launching a similar competing product.
