IP is a key component to establishing a brands “first mover” advantage, just do not become reliant a “one hit” wonder. You must fill this IP pipeline with new, commercially viable “breakaway”, disruptive products or technology.

Those who deploy this strategy effectively, and evangelize the need to keep the waves of innovation flowing are the one who will realize and achieve long term success.
