Rothwell Figg attorney James Hastings has been appointed to the U.S. Technical Advisory Group ("TAG") for Innovation Management of the International Organization for Standardization ("ISO"). The U.S. TAG is comprised of less than fifty national leaders in business, academia, technology, and the law.
The mission of ISO is to bring global experts together to share ideas and processes on the best way to do things. As one of the oldest non-governmental organizations, ISO has promoted international trade and cooperation between people and companies since 1946. The ISO 56000 Innovation Management series consists of standards and guidelines that help companies manage and grow the value of their innovation. Included are strategies for the identification and value capture of intellectual property assets.
A recent study by Boston Consulting Group revealed that one of the top competitive priorities of companies is to implement effective innovation programs. By adopting ISO Innovation Management principles, companies can learn how to become more competitive and create greater return on their intellectual capital and investments.
