Written by forumSME Admin

Xignal, Germany, is a small company in a semiconductor field dominated by global players. Despite its limited resources, it uses the patent system as best it can to achieve its goals and minimise risks.

How a small technology company manages its intellectual property can be key to its survival, yet this is often not taken into account in day-to-day decisions, or considered inthe light of a company's overall business strategy. With few resources and so many challenges, it is typically not a priority. “As a small company our focus is to create leading edge technologies and products. It is essential for a small company like us to file key patents to protect our technologies andto monitor the patents relevant to our technologies in order not to violate foreign patents,” says Dr Heribert Geib, Vice President of Technology and System Engineering at Xignal Technologies.
