Dennemeyer & Associates published an interesting article for Lexology discussing intellectual property protection and the different specialist involved and their roles as IP superheroes. According to this article, there are several roles:
- “Shadow Hunter” – anti-counterfeiting;
- “The Visionary” – patent examiner;
- “Doctor Inventor” – patent engineer;
- “The Lawman” – patent prosecutor;
- “Major Trail” – patent litigator;
- “Captain Europe” – patent attorney;
- “The Sidekick” – IP paralegal;
- “The Wonder” – trademark attorney;
- “The Alliance” – consultants and trainers
We would like to add one more role:
- “New Stars” – Intellectual property managers that are responsible for the strategic management of all corporate intangible assets;
