An issue that is becoming more important for technology-based companies is how, and to what extent, you can develop and promote general corporate awareness of matters related to patents and other intellectual property rights. Such companies want to create and develop a culture that is positive to patent work and processes, one that supports the company’s general business objectives.
     There are various questions that you may need to work through in order to create such a pro-patent company culture. For instance you may need to evaluate management’s involvement in matters concerning the company's intellectual property rights, the involvement of engineering staff in the patent process, and if the patent or intellectual property strategy has been integrated in the corporate business plan.
