The aim of this chapter is to show that innovation can only produce value once it is legally protected. Indeed, the law is involved throughout the entire life cycle of innovation. Thus, legal protection helps to transform innovation into an intangible asset for the company (patent, trademark, designs and models, databases, etc.). The chapter presents the different legal choices that allow the firm to develop innovation internally or externally. The authors explain that the firm, as a taxpayer, must optimize its accounting and tax choices in relation to innovative activities. Moreover, legal management implies an optimization of the legal and tax structure of the corporate structure in the sense that it is important to choose the most suitable form for an innovative activity. They also show that protecting innovation helps to exploit it through several legal techniques of different natures, such as contractual assignment or concession tools (licenses) or other judicial tools. The legal management of innovation appears as one of the key factors for the success of the innovative firm.

In modern economy the effective intellectual property management has huge influence on the competitiveness and commercial success of the enterprise. Patents granted favour keeping the competitive advantage, improving reputation of the firm and rising its market value. In Poland the awareness of advantages concerning patent protection of inventions is very low. Polish firms make few applications, while small and medium size enterprises make such applications hardly ever. Therefore the large-scale activities aiming at enlarging the entrepreneurs’ knowledge concerning the possibilities to obtain the legal protection for their innovative solutions are necessary. All significant procedural barriers that occur in the process of gaining and claiming protection rights should be also eliminated, with the most irritating one which is too long time for examining the cases by courts and adjudicating possible disputes. The aim of the article is to highlight the most important problems that one has to face if one wants to grant and enforce the patent protection in Poland. Particularly the arguments for and against patenting inventions are presented, requirements that patented invention has to fulfil, problems to claim already existing protection and reasons to patent inventions abroad.

AbstractLaboulbeniales are a highly specialized group of fungi living only on arthropods. They have high host specificity and spend their entire life-cycle on an arthropod host. Taxonomic characters of Laboulbeniales are based on the architecture of the cells of the parenchymal thallus, i.e. the visible part of the fungus outside the host. The extent of the fungus spreading inside the host—the haustorium—remains largely unknown. The attachment to the arthropod host is fundamental to understand the fungus-animal interaction, but how this truly occurs is unclear. Recent evidences question the strictly parasitic life-style of Laboulbeniales. We used micro-computed tomography (µCT) and 3D reconstructions to visualize, for the first time, the complete structure of Laboulbeniales species in situ on their hosts. We compared the haustoriate species, Arthrorhynchus nycteribiae on an insect host to the non-haustoriate species, Rickia gigas on a millipede host. Our results confirm that some Laboulbeniales species are ectoparasitic and have a haustorial structure that penetrates the host’s cuticle, while others are ectobionts and are only firmly attached to the host’s cuticle without penetrating it. The presence and the morphology of the haustorium are important traits for Laboulbeniales evolution, and key factors for future understanding of host dependence and specificity.

To ensure the achievement of a number of national development goals of Russia, the need to form an effective intellectual property management system at the macro- and meso-level of the economy becomes especially relevant. This article shows, by the example of the Vologda Oblast, that in order to obtain a positive social and economic effect from intellectual property it is necessary to ensure the processes of its creation, legal protection and commercialization through planning, organization, coordination, stimulation and control.
