A chapter in Life Science Management, 2022, pp 43-54 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The life science field is fast growing and very dynamic. It encompasses more different disciplines than most fields. These disciplines include, for example, biotechnology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry as well as bioinformatics, and biomedical engineering. In all of these disciplines, there is a particularly high need for research as well as development and great potential for innovations. Intellectual property rights and, specifically, patents provide a tool to protect these innovations. This chapter gives the first insight into the topic of intellectual property, thereby always providing a link to the life science field, raises awareness of the importance of intellectual property protection and provide some guidance for life science management. This chapter is aimed at students with a focus on life sciences interested in the intellectual property field, scientists, lecturers, and start-up founders alike.
