We present a case study of the world's leading intellectual property champion IBM and identify general success categories and success factors for managing intellectual property in inter-firm R&D collaborations. The paper finally derives knowledge areas as basis for intellectual property rights being relevant to exploit collaboration outcomes sustainingly.
