The Industry Focus section of the 🧭dIPlex Digital IP Lexicon provides structured insights from the Open Foresight Board on IP-related topics that are already relevant to industry, but for which clear decision frameworks are still emerging. The articles on this page highlight areas in which companies face new forms of uncertainty, such as quantum technologies, the Unified Patent Court and open-source software in mobility.
The forums highlight areas in which companies face new forms of uncertainty, as well as the associated challenges and opportunities of IP, connecting these emerging issues with practice-oriented perspectives from experts who understand the technical context and strategic role of IP in business decisions.
