INTRODUCTION
Innovation is characterised as the process of creating something new, using it, and
improving it to achieve a goal. It includes ways of adding new aspects as well as ways of
strengthening existing ones. Fundamentally, innovation consists of a number of elements,
including development, creation, designing, and expansion. While the process of launching new
goods and services in corporate marketplaces is known as commercialization. To successfully
launch new goods and services, innovation often combines account development, marketing,
customer service, and sales (Adjimah, Atiase, and Dzansi, 2022). This report is based on
innovation and commercialisation on F-drones, which provides aerial transportation services and
provides supplies to ships and offshore platforms. This report includes importance of innovation,
that provides vision, leadership, culture and teamwork, 4Ps of innovation and use of funnel,

MAIN BODY
TASK 1
P1 Explain innovation and determine its importance to organisations in comparison with
invention
Innovation is characterised as a process that involves developing, introducing, and using
fresh approaches to manufacturing. Any type of business growth that is carried out on a regular
basis enables them to successfully lead and have improved work and productivity. Due to the
numerous rivals, it is crucial to produce products and services in order to deal with them.
Creation and designing are crucial in this regard. Innovation is vital because it promotes growth,
draws talent, and satisfies needs (AlMalki, and Durugbo, 2022). Businesses can expand their
operations when they innovate their goods and services and introduce new items. In comparison
to invention, which focuses on inventing and creating new parts, innovation involves improving
existing items. Innovation is necessary for the creation of any product, and it is crucial for the
reasons listed below: Attract skilled individuals: Every time a business innovates in its business practises.

advantages, brand names and licenses. There are some of parts that hold and expect protected
innovation. If there should arise an occurrence of brand names, they are a portion of certain
images and names that are related with organization. It plans a production of association through
brand quality through that create and developed standing
It is vital for the associations like F-drones to safeguard their development and the properties of
the association from been theft or pretend for which organization utilizes three sorts of licensed
innovation privileges. The intellectual property rights are discussed below:
Copyright: It is one of the most well-known intellectual right among each sort of business
undertaking by which organization can limit the other organization from replicating their item or
administration to seek after their own business for productivity. Copyright act protections the
important type of information the formation by an association instead of protection the thought.
Copyright act is the type of a legitimate security that safeguards the first work of the owner
which is as the obvious medium.
Trademark: Trademark is addressed as a particular word, image, motto or plan that is
differentiable from the other business which assists with recognizing and separate the result of
the help of the specific brand or a business subsequently giving them a critical brand personality
(van Rooyen, van der Lingen, and Ross, 2022). Thus exchange is a licensed innovation right that
safeguards the behaviour or the element of the association by which organization is being from
one side of the planet to the other. Each organization protections its image names, logos,
exceptional motto image with the brand name insurance so no other organization can use similar
logo, name for its own business reason. Brand name safeguards the arrangement of the item as
opposed to a solitary item.
Patent: A patent is one of the main scholarly right which is given by the public authority of the
specific country to safeguard the right of the innovator so that the other can be excluded from
making, selling or involving the growth for the specific timeframe. A patent is the public
authority must to safeguard licensed innovation not too far off are the different lengths of the
10

patent security privileges, for example, 14 years, 20 years relies upon the sort of development.
Benefit of patent is that it can prevent the others from duplicating and producing a selling the
development without your consent consequently permitting the association to make an upper
hand with its special advancement on the lookout.
Disadvantage of patent is it is an extremely cycle as applying for patent takes time during which
the creation can be exceeded by some other association or may change because of the changing
business sector patterns and the innovation.
From the above intellectual property is the most appropriate licensed innovation ideal for the
F-drones to safeguard its development. F-drones will use the advantages of patent protected
innovation right by safeguarding its development from being made duplicated or sell by some
other serious organization in the market of UK. Patent will help the F-drone gaining the permit
of assurance which will help the F-drone in producing bigger income.
CONCLUSION
From above report it has been concluded that advancement and commercialisation is
considered as to be a significant component which is too conveyed in strategic approaches.
Development and commercialisation is fundamental for each sort of business. As when
advancement is conveyed by organizations it could help in driving and producing upper hand and
incomes. Organizations ought to maintain its attention on having advancement in their items and
administrations as opposed to imagining them.
