ON-LINE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER INAUGURATED<br />
Commenting recently on the company’s future, Corporate Intellectual Property<br />
and Licensing Vice President Glenn Lenzen predicted that “<strong>Raytheon</strong>’s leading<br />
technological position will be based upon a strong intellectual property portfolio<br />
consisting of patents, trade secrets and know-how.”<br />
A high-technology company that generates cutting-edge products and technologies<br />
must be able to identify, protect and leverage its intellectual capital. To help<br />
achieve these goals and to reinforce a One Company philosophy, a <strong>Raytheon</strong><br />
corporate team led by Lenzen has created a new <strong>Raytheon</strong> Intellectual Property<br />
Center (RIPC) intranet site at http://appus-as02.app.ray.com/rtnipcenter.<br />
The site provides employees with a centralized resource for all kinds of intellectual<br />
property information. Individuals are strongly urged to use the site to file invention<br />
disclosures electronically. The RIPC site also enables users to search <strong>Raytheon</strong>’s<br />
entire IP portfolio.<br />
Another important feature is the Leveraging IP module, which allows users to submit<br />
ideas for new technology applications that fall outside of the Company’s core<br />
defense business. The Technology Map module, currently under construction, will<br />
link <strong>Raytheon</strong>’s intellectual property to key technology areas, and to the various<br />
<strong>Raytheon</strong> businesses, business units, and geographical locations that are stakeholders<br />
in the IP supporting these technologies.<br />
The site also has a number of useful links listed on the left-hand side of the page.<br />
These include:<br />
• IP Background, which contains a<br />
series of introductory presentations<br />
on subjects such as IP ownership<br />
rights, copyright and patent training.<br />
• Policies and Procedures, a library of<br />
Company IP policies and procedures,<br />
including information regarding the<br />
clearance of technical papers for presentation<br />
or publication and a<br />
Technical Publications Clearance<br />
Request (TPCR) form, and requirements<br />
and procedures for control of<br />
Company most private, <strong>Raytheon</strong> proprietary<br />
and competition sensitive<br />
information. This link will be updated<br />
as revised policies and procedures<br />
become available.<br />
• Directories of IP&L staff and members of Patent Evaluation Committees.<br />
This site can answer many frequently asked IP questions and provide easy access<br />
to information. Everyone is encouraged to visit the RIPC and become familiar with<br />
the many resources it has to offer.<br />
