About this Interview

How Patents Became a Managing Board Agenda Item at Siemens

What happens when one of the world’s leading patent filers stops focusing primarily on the number of patents and starts asking what those patents are actually worth? 
 
In this interview, former Siemens Chief IP Counsel Beat Weibel explains why Siemens shifted from a quantity-driven to a value-driven IP strategy, and how closer integration between innovation and IP helped strengthen the company’s patent portfolio. 
Discover why patent counts alone tell only part of the story, how patent quality can be measured, and how better portfolio intelligence can help IP leaders focus resources on the inventions that matter most. 
For anyone looking to connect IP strategy more closely with innovation, business value and measurable impact, this is a conversation worth watching.
