Last week on IP Think Tank, we discussed: The indirect approach, Realised IP Strategy, European Patent Troll Boom? and Patent valuation methods.

As always, the week ended with IP Think Tank's Global Week in Review - a look at the major intellectual property stories breaking on the internet and blogosphere for the week.

Please do come and join the ongoing conversation, either here at Gathering2.com or at IPThinkTank.

The indirect approach is one of the most effect ways to achieve strategic success - we raised the question of its applicabiliy in the context of IP Strategy.

The post on Realised IP Strategy makes the point that people seldom achieve what they planned, but that by carefully tracking what is achieved, one can be much more effective strategically.

In European Patent Troll Boom? - we looked at some recent blog posts about a potential boom in patent trolls in Europe and gave reasons why it won't become as popular as in the US.

In Last Chance to Patent your Patent Valuation Method we discussed some of the patent strategy implications of recent moves to globally standardise methods for valuing patents.
