IP Pragmatics was founded in 2000. Initially the company was primarily focused on providing patent services to life science companies. In this period it built up a loyal client base of mainly European-based SME biotechnology companies for whom it provided basic and strategic patent support.
In 2003 the company expanded to provide business development consulting services across all aspects of early stage technology commercialisation. The company has been very successful in building its IP consulting client networks at academic institutions, life science companies and investor organisations. It now works with leading research organisations; both government and commercial, in UK, North America, New Zealand, Europe and Japan, helping these organisations maximize value through effective exploitation of their IP assets.
From 2005 the company added to its IP product offering with the foundation of the IP Services division. The IP Services division offers a unique combination of IP management tools and services to assist IP owners with the efficient management of these important assets. This expansion has been achieved through the formation of successful strategic partnerships and through the acquisition of NetsPat Limited.
