Having put into effect an IP strategy as soon as the company was formed, Skeleton (electrical machinery, apparatus, energy) ensured that the patenting of inventions in the initial stages of R & D was streamlined with early product development. This led to three benefits: 1/ better IP capture; 2/ a better idea of the value of the invention, which is of huge importance at the beginning, where investment is crucial, and 3/ the ability to assess whether the company will be able to use the invention without being dependent on others.
