My interest in intellectual Property management is mainly on university management and commercialization of their IP. I was involved in several negotiation of IP commercialization between local university and the industries in Malaysia.
My interest in IP management leads to my interest in product development which is the overall process of strategy, organization, concept generation, product and marketing plan creation and evaluation, and commercialization of a new product.
