Innovation resources for new technology

The innovation resources for new technology section

This page is part of the Resources for Sensors, Measurements, Instrumentation and related Sciences Library.

Innovation for new technology is a broad subject covering various aspects of innovation from new product development practices to considerations of resulting intellectual property. Many of the problems facing the successful implementation of a new technology are commercial in nature. Inventions frequently comprise intellectual property of one form or another. Patents can be valuable as protection against competition for the owner for a period of time and as a vehicle for acquiring or selling rights to specific technologies.
