Managing the profitability of your intellectual property

Creating new income streams from intellectual property or commercialisation is only one side of the value equation. IP Pragmatics also provides tools and services to help organisations more effectively manage the costs associated with maintaining their intellectual property assets. By reducing direct costs and internal management costs, clients can increase the profitability of their intellectual property assets.

"Patents are a key feature of our business model. IP Forecaster gives us an excellent system for managing our portfolio. In particular, the module for generating different budget scenarios enables us to determine the optimum cost-effective geographic cover for our patent rights in the principal markets which we wish to exploit commercially."
