Starting point
The Marketing Mix model (also known as the 4 P’s) can be used by marketers as a tool to assist
in implementing the Marketing strategy. Marketing managers use this method to attempt to
generate the optimal response in the target market by blending 4 variables in an optimal way. It
is important to understand that the Marketing Mix principles are controllable variables. The
Marketing Mix can be adjusted on a frequent basis to meet the changing needs of the target
group and the other dynamics of the Marketing environment.
The starting point for the research presented in this summary is an attempt of analysis of
applicability of Marketing Mix model to intellectual property rights as product. In the research

Yuriy Moyseyenko analysed the structure, consistence and evolution of Marketing Mix model.
By the result of mentioned analysis the researcher made an attempt to apply Marketing Mix
model for such specific products as intellectual property rights (inventions, designs, trademarks)
due to the EU legislation by the method of synthesis of legislation and 4P’s (Product, Price,
Place, Promotion). Among other things, the lifecycles characteristics of the product, innovationand technology were taken as fundamentals for conclusions.
Objectives of the Study and Research Topic
The objective of this research is to investigate the role of Marketing Mix of industrial property as
tool of innovation policy. The study belongs mainly to the field of economics of intellectual
property and innovative marketing. The objective is to examine characteristics of industrial
property as product in Marketing Mix and its pricing, placement and promotion specifics.
The research problem is as follows:What are the role and main aim of marketing manager in industrial property marketing under
modern conditions?
The researcher problem will be solved by answering the following research questions:
1. Marketing Mix evolution (analysis):
- 4 P’s (product, price, place, promotion);
- 4 C’s (customer value, consumer cost, convenience, communication);
- SIVA model (solution, value, access, information).
2. Industrial property Marketing Mix characteristics (synthesis):
- Industrial property rights as product, customer value and solution;
- Industrial property rights valuation methods as price, consumer cost and value;
- Access to industrial property rights as convenience (Place in 4P’s);
- Information about industrial property right as promotion and communication.
3. The role and main aim of marketing manager in lifecycle of industrial property rights.
Research data and method
This research is based on official and unofficial issues of European Commission (incl. statistical
data) and the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The main methods of research are
analysing Marketing Mix Model and its synthesis with industrial property rights.
Benefits of the Study
The aim of this study is to offer new knowledge which can be used in the development of the
Marketing Mix Model Theory and generating new business ideas in industrial property
marketing. This knowledge may also be useful for managers in innovation marketing activities.
The results of the research can be applied in any country of the World but the national legislation
should be taken in account.

The Marketing Mix Model
The function of the Marketing Mix model is to help develop a package (mix) that will not only
satisfy the needs of the customers within the target markets, but simultaneously to maximize the
performance of the organization [1].Table 1. The Marketing Mix model [1]
Product Historically, the thinking was: a good product will sell itself.
However there are no bad products anymore in today’s highly
competitive markets. Plus there are many laws giving customers
the right to return products that they perceive as bad. Therefore
the question on product has become: does the organization create
what its intended customers want? Define characteristics of your
product or service that meets needs of your customers.
Functionality,
quality,
appearance,
packaging, brand,
service, support,
warranty.
Price How much are the intended customers willing to pay? Here we
decide on a pricing strategy – do not let it just happen! Even if
you decide not to charge for a service (a loss leader), you must
realize that this is a conscious decision and forms part of the
pricing strategy. Although competing on price is as old as
mankind, the consumer is often still sensitive for price discounts
and special offers. Price has also an irrational side: something
that is expensive must be good. Permanently competing on priceis for many companies not a very sensible approach.
List price,
discounts,
financing, leasing
options,
allowances
Place Available at the right place, at the right time, in the right
quantities? Some of the revolutions in business have come about
by changing Place. Think of the internet and mobile telephones.
Locations,
logistics, channel
members, channel
motivation, market
coverage, service
levels, internet,
mobile
romotion (How) are the chosen target groups informed or educated about
the organization and its products? This includes all the weapons
in the marketing armory – advertising, selling, sales promotions,
public relations, etc. While the other three P’s have lost much of
three meaning in today’s markets, promotion has become the
most important P to focus on.
Advertising, public
relations, message,
direct sales, sales,
media, budget
There have been many attempts to increase the number of P’s from 4 to 5P’s in the MM model.
The most frequently mentioned one being People or Personnel. Booms and Bitner have
suggested a 7-Ps approach for services-oriented companies [1].

Marketing strategy based on Marketing Mix Model
Market research gives an enterprise a set of relevant information that allows it to determine ‘a
strategy indicating the specific target markets and types of competitive advantages that are to be
developed and exploited’1. For most enterprises in developing countries and countries in
transition this means that they need to define their marketing mix [2, p. 30]:
• Identify a product for a target market (or a segment of a particular market). It may be that
the enterprise can diversify into new product lines using existing technology and skills. It may
have to invest in new technology and skills, to enable it to produce entirely new ranges of
products. The ‘new range’ could include a new brand image, new packaging, new services and
new way of maintaining or servicing customer relations. This may involve brand stretching,
brand extension or the creation of new brands or trademarks for the new market or customer types.
• Calculate the price at which this product will sell. To penetrate certain markets profit
margins may have to be kept low; for other markets the current trends may allow increased
margins for certain periods. In yet other markets the rarity of a raw material or skill will permit
pricing at the highest margins possible.
• Work out where to place or position the products in the market(s) by: attempting contact
with new types of customers; competing with another maker; introducing the products to a newtype of retail outlet in a totally new locality (new market channel); or developing an export
market about which little is known. The enterprise should check whether it has the freedom to
use an existing or proposed verbal trademark in an export market. It should also verify whether
the trademark has any negative or undesirable connotations in the export market (if it does, then
the enterprise will have to find a new trademark for use in that market). Creating or selecting a
suitable trademark is just as important if the enterprise intends to position a product to target a
new customer type, market segment or location. In addition to trademarks, new packaging andlabeling may be required, and these too may have branding (trademark), industrial design or
copyright implications.
• Establish the best way to promote the product to the consumer, depending upon the
location in which the product is placed.
Varying combinations of these factors will provide artisans and craft enterprises with a
choice of actions to take and directions in which they might move in order to continue in
business effectively. This is marketing strategy [2, p. 31].

Submission of 4P’s by 4C’s in Marketing Mix Model for creative products
Traditionally, the specialist in marketing mainly relies on the so-called marketing mix, or the
four P's-product, price, place and promotion-to develop marketing plans. But this functional
approach is unidirectional, since it comes from the organization and imposed on the customer. Inthe domain of creativity where shop value and trust are essential, this perspective is not adapted
since it represents the seller's mind-set rather than the buyer's. This is why Robert Lauterborn
suggests that marketers think in terms of the four Cs instead of four Ps: customer value (not
product), customer costs (not price alone), convenience (not place), and communication (not
promotion)1 that is why Mohanbir Sawhney suggests that marketing should be focused on
processes: process for understanding, defining, realizing, communicating and sustaining value.
- Customer value more than Product [3, p. 13]
Offering the product is the traditional first step of the four Ps. But when offering new and
unknown products, it is very important to consider that the view of the consumer will be very
complex. People will place different values on various aspects of the core product. People not
only acquire products but are searching for new experiences and sequences. Furthermore, each
patron's experience will vary according to his or her knowledge, preferences, background, and
mental state at the time of the use of the product.
In many creative areas, such as culture, there exist augmented products. The augmented product
consists of features and benefits by the marketer to stimulate purchase and enhance consumption
of the core product. Due to the uncertainty of the cultural good, many characteristics will have to
be organized for increasing the confidence of the customer.
Since creativity is the principle for these companies, managers need to periodica1ly adjust or
reformulate their marketing and positioning strategy. There are ongoing changes in the
environment, such as growing competition and evolving customers’ preferences. Moreover, theorganization itself, its core products, and its augmented products are all subject to life cycle
analysis.
During the growth stage the organization capitalizes on the customer's strong response and seeks
to develop patron loyalty. It also employs several strategies to prolong the growth stage. It may
add new product features and benefits such as visible improvement in the quality of the
productions and customer service. It may cultivate new market segments. It may add new

6
versions or windows products or consider new distribution channels, such as performances in
neighborhood.
When the growth rate slows, often to the point where managers are working harder just to
maintain past years’ customers’ level, the organization has entered the stage of maturity. It can
try to expand its number of users by converting nonusers, by encouraging more frequent use
among current users, and by increasing the amount of use per occasion. The organization can
also stimulate demand by modifying the product. This can take the form of quality improvement,
usually by investing more heavily in production values, or feature improvement, such as
offering. The marketers should also consider what modifications should be made to non-product
elements to stimulate demand. Could new appeal be built with new branding and positioning
strategies?
A difference between life cycle in our domain and “mainstream life cycle” is that usually
creative products do not know phases of decline but of disappearance that can be very fast after
maturity. But sometimes they re-appear some time after, usually in a new marketing perspective.
- Consumer cost more than Price [3, p. 14]
Creative companies marketers need to consider the costs incurred not only by the organization
presenting a production but also by the consumers using the product or service. It is difficult for
creative organizations to clearly identify productivity gains, moreover productivity gains
experienced by the rest of economy. Since the early twenty, century, increases in efficiency in
our technology-oriented, for-profit economies have been continuous and cumulative. But the
references are totally different for many creative industries since they are in advance on this
reference. Furthermore, many of these companies have to incur substantial expenses for
financing sunk and fixed costs that must be met without knowing the number of consumers. This
calls for pricing strategies starting from the possibilities of the various consumers segments
rather than on the organization costs. Organizations depend on contributed income to come for
the difference between the company’s expenses and' its income, yet garnering adequate subsidies
is a perpetual struggle.
In such a perspective, they have to consider the costs supported by the consumers and not only
the cost of the product. They must consider value for time as much as value for money. They
must take into consideration that customers have very different perceptions of value for money
and then adapt their pricing policy.

Since the success of creative products is submitted to bandwagon and network effects, they have
the choice between two objectives that have to be sequenced within time: maximizing the
number of customers; maximizing the income. These objectives are not mutually exclusive and
marketers have to meet these two goals either simultaneously or successively.
- Convenience more than Place [3, p. 14]
In the digital area, place has taken a very flexible content. For example information and
distribution take forms independent of specific places. But the main point here is the fact that the
time of consumption has to use the digital perspective. Many companies still are opposed to too
much flexibility here, fearing processes such as illegal downloading and copying. But they have
to take into consideration these new perspectives.
- Communication more than promotion [3, p. 14]
Communication is perception. The recipient message, not the sender, is central to
communication. The transmitter can only make it possible for a recipient, or percipient, to
perceive. Moreover, perception is based on experience, not on logic, so one can perceive only
what one is capable of perceiving. Therefore, in order to make communication possible, a
creative company must first know the recipient's language and experience, knowing that this
latter responds best to communications that fit in with its aspirations, values, and motivations. If
the message does not correspond with these qualities it is likely not to be received at all or, at
best, likely to be resisted.
Marketing is a matter of influencing behavior - either behavior or preventing it from
changing. In order to influence behavior it is crucial to understand where the customer is coming
from. If a message is not designed to address target interests, needs, and mind-set, it will not be
effective. Once the marketer has developed an understanding of targeted market he may develop
messages and use media that inform, and educate people in compelling ways. All advertising,
public relations efforts, personal selling, and sales promotion tactics are intended to persuade.
Unfortunately, much marketing copy is filled with hype, exaggerating consumer expectations or
causing people to be skeptical of the claims. Here, a major source of dissatisfaction is not
inferior quality but exaggerated expectations. Disappointment can be avoided if the organization
uses only but realistic methods of persuasion [3, p. 15].
Like all other enterprises, creative enterprises must produce an economic value. It enables
them to cover their production costs, make investments for the future and remunerate their shareholders. It also brings out the interdependence between potential needs and actual supply.

To produce this economic value, enterprises have to organize their resources, suppliers,
distributors and consumers in a coherent manner. In this contribution, we analyze the
environment and the foundations for answering these challenges. We start by looking at the
specificity of the so-called creative enterprises vis-à-vis mainstream enterprises. Then we
identify three main logics for creating value and show that creative enterprises have specific
challenges to solve (1). Then we analyze the specific drivers for creating these values (2).
Various business models can be considered then, and the versioning model will be considered
more in detail (3) [3, p. 15].
SIVA Marketing Model as specific MMix Model for industrial property rights.
The SIVA Model provides a demand/customer centric version alternative to the well-known 4Ps
supply side model (product, price, place, promotion) of marketing management.
The four elements of the SIVA model are [4]:
- Solution: How appropriate is the solution to the customers’ problem/need
- Information: Does the customer know about the solution, and if so how, who from, do they
know enough to let them make a buying decision
- Value: Does the customer know the value of the transaction, what it will cost, what are the
benefits, what might they have to sacrifice, what will be there reward?
- Access: Where can the customer find the solution? How easily/locally/remotely can they buy itand take delivery.

This model was proposed by Chekitan Dev and Don Schultz in the Marketing Management
Journal of the American Marketing Association, and presented by them in Market Leader - the
journal of the Marketing Society in the UK [4].
Due to industrial property rights characteristics SIVE Marketing Model is the most convenient
variant of Marketing Mix Models for industrial property rights marketing strategy planning.Table 3. Industrial property Marketing Mix Model

Industrial property rights as product, customer value and solution
Invention rights as product, customer value and solution
In the European Union (EU), patent protection is currently provided by two systems, neither of
which is based on a Community legal instrument: the national patent systems and the European
patent system. The national patent has undergone de facto harmonisation with the signing of
several international conventions, including the Convention on the Grant of European Patents
(the Munich Convention) in 1973 to which all EU Member States have acceded. The Munich
Convention lays down a single procedure for the granting of European patents. The Convention
established the European Patent Office ("the Office") to grant patents which then become
national patents subject to national rules. At present, 31 countries are members of the European
Patent Organisation. Although the Munich Convention creates a single system for granting
patents, there is still no Community patent belonging to the Community legal order. A single
patent for the whole Community could help Europe transform research results and new
technological and scientific know-how into industrial and commercial success stories. The aim is
also to help Europe catch up on the United States and Japan in terms of private R&D investment.
Effects of the Community patent are the solution precisely mentioned in the research as product.
The Community patent confers on its proprietor the right to prohibit, without his consent:• the direct use of the invention, in particular making it, offering it, putting it on the market,importing it, etc.;• the indirect use of the invention, through supplying it, etc.
Annual fees must be paid to the Office to renew Community patents. The amount of these fees
will be fixed by means of an implementing regulation on fees, which will be adopted by aregulations committee. The Community patent is valid for twenty years, calculated from the
8/6/2019 Moy Se Yenko Pap
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/moy-se-yenko-pap 10/17
10
date of filing of the application. The patent will lapse if the renewal fee or any additional fee has
not been paid on time [5].
European patents shall be granted for any inventions which are susceptible of industrial
application, which are new and which involve an inventive step [6, Art. 52]. An invention shall
be considered to be new if it does not form part of the state of the art [6, Art. 54]. An inventionshall be considered as involving an inventive step if, having regard to the state of the art, it is not
obvious to a person skilled in the art [6, Art. 56]. An invention shall be considered as susceptible
of industrial application if it can be made or used in any kind of industry, including agriculture
[6, Art. 57]. The European Patent Convention guarantees rights of utility models and utility
certificates and applications for utility models and utility certificates registered or deposited in
the Contracting States whose laws make provision for such models or certificates [6, Art. 140].
Trademark rights as product, customer value and solutionA Community trade mark may consist of any signs capable of being represented graphically
(particularly words, designs, letters, numerals, the shape of goods or of their packaging) provided
that such signs are capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those
of other undertakings.
A Community trade mark confers on its proprietor exclusive rights which are the solution precisely
mentioned in the research as product.. The proprietor is entitled to prohibit all third parties from using in
the course of trade:• any sign which is identical with the Community trade mark in relation to goods or services which are
identical with those for which the Community trade mark is registered;• any sign for which there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public in relation to
another trade mark;• any sign which is identical with or similar to the Community trade mark in relation to goods or
services which are not similar to those for which the Community trade mark is registered, if the sign
is used to exploit the reputation or distinctive character of the trade mark.
The Community trade mark is registered for ten years from the date of filing of the application.
Registration is renewable for further periods of ten years. Necessitaty the payment of an
application fee and, where appropriate, one or more class fees. An application for a Community
trade mark must involve two searches, conducted by OHIM and the national industrial property
offices, in respect of existing Community or national trade marks or trade mark applications [7].
Design rights as product, customer value and solutionTo qualify for protection, designs must be new and have an individual character (they must be
different from existing products). The right to the Community design is vested in the designer or
his successor in title. The Regulation provides for two types of protection of designs directly
applicable in each Member State, i.e.:
• without any formalities, as an "unregistered Community design";
• As a "registered Community design", if it is registered with the OHIM.

The characteristic feature of the protection granted to an unregistered Community design is that
it is short-term: it is protected for a period of three years from the date on which the design was
first made available to the public within the EU (the product was put on sale through marketing
or prior publication measures). This form of protection may be useful in sectors which produce
large quantities of designs intended for products which frequently have a short economic life.The provisions of the Regulation will thus allow them to qualify for a certain level of protection
without having to go through a longer procedure. In the case of the registered Community
design, the protection is for a minimum of five years and a maximum of twenty-five years.
The difference in the degree of protection conferred is that a registered design is protected
against both systematic copying and the independent development of a similar design, whereas
an unregistered design is protected only against systematic copying. A registered design thus
benefits from more formal and more comprehensive legal certainty [8].Industrial property valuation models and tools as pricing, consumer cost and value
As a manager, a chief executive officer, a research director, an accountant, an investor, a
corporate finance professional, an academic or a student, you probably need to be aware of the
value of IPR within your activity. There are a few of scopes involved in IPR valuation:
• Marketing of IPR – Stating the possibility to independently sell IPR owned by firms, an IP
valuation could provide the right information needed for a successful exploitation of
intangible assets. The sale or the purchase of IPR could thus represent an important resource
for the firm in order to obtain financial support or to allow further research activities.
• Licensing – In order to make an agreement to license IPR, a business must know as
accurately as possible the real value of the IPR concerned. An accurate IP valuation allows
licensor and licensee to estimate the financial terms of their licensing agreement addressing
the specific needs of both parties [9, p. 1].
IP valuating is a complex procedure taking into account economic, technology-related as well as
juridical factors. The heterogeneity of the factors concerned and the specific purposes addressed
in every valuation do not allow adopting one generally-accepted standardised IP valuation
model, but there is a variety of different models and tools comprising different approaches.
Moreover, it is important to consider that the elements which should be included in valuation
mostly depend on the specific IPR involved. In that respect, we are to explain the most
commonly used methods in order to provide users with a general overview on that issue [9, p. 2].
a) The market based method
It is devoted to asses IPR market value by reference to comparable market transactions. The
method basically consists of assessing prices and/or profits achieved by third parties in
8/6/2019 Moy Se Yenko Pap
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/moy-se-yenko-pap 12/17
12
comparable market transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions as far as the IPR assets are
concerned, IPR sales or the grant of IPR-related licenses. An itemisation of such model is the
relief-from royalty method that takes into account only previous licensing royalties prices
determining the value of related IPR. Such methods imply serious problems mostly when
comparable transactions cannot be found with regard to the relevant IPR. b) The cost based method
This method assumes a direct impact of costs on the IPR value. It is based on the analysis of
costs necessary to replace the IPR concerned, as well as on costs that have been invested for the
development, application, maintenance and commercialisation of IPR, and on a consideration of
costs which may have been avoided by establishing IPR such as royalties for licensing-in a
related technology. The disadvantage of this method is that, not considering IPR market
indicators, it does not allow to establish a fair relationship between IPR costs and related IPR real market value.
c) The profit based method
Such method is the most comprehensive one as it aims at determining the IPR potential for
market revenue growth, the profit to be expected by the future commercialisation of the IPR
concerned1. This method analyses the nature of the asset, its legal status, its related marketability
as well as market conditions, likely performance and potential, and the time value of money. It is
illustrative, demonstrating (or not) the cash flow potential of the property and is highly regarded
and widely accepted in the financial community.
Like tangible assets, IPR can be used, sold, or otherwise commercialised in the market
depending on the firm’s strategy, and frequently represent the crucial element for drafting
business plans, building up IP portfolios, negotiating technology transfer agreements, managing
business partnerships, setting up start-ups or spin-offs, or for receiving or granting financial
investment [9, p. 2].
IP valuation consists of an interdisciplinary work drawing upon the understanding of technology,
law, economics, finance, accounting, and investment. IPR nature, operating context as well as
the high number of elements concerned, make it difficult to create a unified method for assessing
the value of IPR, however different models are currently used by professionals and academics
which allow a successful strategic management and commercialisation of IPR [9, p. 2].
Access to industrial property rights as convenience (Place in 4P’s)
1 Within this method according to the “discounted cash flow analysis” potential future profits and thus expected cash flows arediscounted by a discount rate to their actual current value. The projection of market revenues such as future licensing profits aswell as any avoided payments for licensing-in a technology from third parties is a critical step in the valuation [9, p. 3].

National patent offices’ data bases have information about industrial property rights which are in
force in one or another country. The consumer can not buy industrial property rights anywhere,
but only in countries where such rights exist (anyway consumer can buy it in case of non-patent
license but the level of guarantees is much lower comparatively with usual industrial property
licenses). Only in countries where holder has protected his industrial property rights the patent
license can be given with all state protection guarantees in case of infringements.A Community industrial property may be licensed for the whole or part of the Community.
A license may be exclusive or non-exclusive. The consent of the right-holder is essential.
In the case of licensing clearly define the right relationship and terms for the licensing of
your IP in a licensing agreement. The license agreement that covers the merchandising activity
should include at least the following [10]:
• a detailed description of the specific IP rights and other elements which the licensee is
authorized to merchandise;• the specific types of products/services the licensed IP rights will be used for, and the
information on whether the agreement extends to the manufacture and/or distribution and sale of
those products and to the corresponding packaging and advertising materials;
• the countries in which the products or services will be sold or provided;
• the indication of the period during which the agreement applies, and the information on
whether the agreement can be prolonged after that period or, on the contrary, terminated before
that period under certain conditions (such as failure to manufacture and/or distribute, defaults in payments and, in general, any breach of the conditions of the agreement), including the
consequences of such early termination;
• a requirement for the licensee to keep the licensor informed of any third party
infringements of the IP rights of which he/she becomes aware;
• an indemnification clause which states that the licensee will protect the licensor from any
lawsuits that might arise from the merchandising activities;
•
the financial terms (advance payment against future royalties, royalty percentage, basis of calculation of the royalty amount, etc);
• the indication that the license is exclusive or non-exclusive;
• the indication whether or not the licensee may grant sub-licenses;
• the indication that the licensee should obtain the licensor’s prior approval with respect to
the manner in which the IP is used on or in connection with the products or services.
• Register the license agreement, if needed. Many countries require that a license be
recorded with the national IP office or other government agency [10].

The role of e-infrastructures Continuous investments in e-infrastructures and ICT provide
competitive European advantages and serve as excellent examples of how coordination and
cooperation on a European level, paired with major research infrastructure advances, can
dramatically change the way research work is being conducted.High-performance communication networks such as GÉANT and its global extensions,
distributed (Grid) computing, web-based data resources and virtual presence tools enable and
accelerate the construction of collaborative communities of researchers. e-Infrastructures are
both catalysts for scientific cooperation and act as integrating mechanisms, effectively providing
what can be regarded as the ‘glue’ between the different scientific disciplines [11, p. 24]:
- Many research efforts require massive computing resources to tackle, for example, the
environmental ‘rand challenge’ on global warming or research in the biosciences and bioinformatics, both of which must integrate research efforts across scientific disciplines
- Modern research is impossible without permanent access to high-quality e-infrastructure:
computers, networks, on-line library resources, research data, the software tools to support
collaborative research (known as middleware) and to find and access data, and applications to
process and present research activity.
- Good access to and management of scientific data is a growing requirement. More and more
data is created in digital format only and can be saved for future shared use. Eventually there will
be a layer of scholarly and academic information resources, readily available to the research and
education community (and much of it to the public at large). This will enable and facilitate cross-
border, crossinstitution and cross-discipline access to other researcher’s data.
The e-Infrastructures are to a large extent financed by the Member States, and connected and
interlinked together through powerful global networks that, together with computing and
simulation facilities, enable and promote the use of virtual models to simulate, visualise and
solve complex research problems. The European Commission support is essential for sustaining
the advances in high-performance networking and computing, tools and applications to develop
international research communities, and the management and creation of research information
resources [11, p. 24].
CONCLUSIONS
Industrial property Marketing Mix Model consists of 4P’s:
1) Product: exclusive rights for industrial property (patents, designs, trademarks);
2) Price: valuation models and tools;

3) Place: abilities for license relationship;
4) Promotion: spreading information methods.
The main aims of marketing manager in lifecycle of industrial property rights are the following:
• Making a correct choice of countries where industrial property should be protected;
• Marketing researches on technologies, innovations, intellectual property, goods markets;• Internal industrial property valuation;
• Searching methods of patents, technologies, innovations.
• Preserve control over the commercial use of firm’s intellectual property rights.
According to characteristics of industrial property Marketing Mix Model let’s analyze the
marketing manager role in industrial property lifecycle. Except trademarks, industrial property
rights are not renewable. It means that after their time of being in force (invention – for 20 years,
design – 25 years) any person or company can use it for free without any payments to their holders. That’s why it is very important to prepare industrial property rights for sale in period of
licenses maximum profitability. The role of marketing manager is to predict correctly the most
successful period for industrial property licenses selling taking in account innovative technology,
industrial property and product lifecycles as on figure 1.
Figure 1. Technology, industrial property and product lifecycles [12]
Innovative technology based on a novel invention protected as industrial property rights is shown
on Figure 1 as value curves. Till the moment of first sales transaction of innovative product thevalues of technology and industrial property rights usually are valuated by the cost-based

method. After first innovative product units selling we can start evaluate technology and IP
rights value by the profit based method. With each month of product lifecycle industrial property
rights value will exceed and gain its maximum sum just right before active growth period
starting. This period is the most successful for license selling (shown by the letter T). But this
period is not so long because of new competitors’ patents appearing which make innovativetechnology better as whole. That’s why the main role of marketing manager is to predict the
moment of competitors inventions appearing and to sell during the most suitable period the most
expensive licenses. This money is the capital for new R&D.
From the other hand in the Community Innovation Survey – 2004 (CIS 2004) the enterprises
surveyed were asked to evaluate the importance of reduced time to respond to customer or
supplier needs. By the result between 21% (Luxembourg) and 1% (Portugal) of the innovative
enterprises considered “reduced time to respond to customer or supplier needs” a highlyimportant effect of organisational innovation. In general, this effect is not so important because
only eight out of the 20 countries in Figure 5.59 reached the 10% mark. Most innovative
enterprises seem to regard time savings more as a positive collateral effect of innovation which
do not play a large part in the enterprise’s overall innovation strategy [13, p. 147].
