Intellectual property resources for all businesses
Services to help small and medium sized businesses
For small and medium sized businesses intellectual property can be amongst their most important assets yet the management and costs associated with maintaining and exploiting these assets can be a significant burden. Rarely do these organisations have the infrastructure for a dedicated intellectual property resource and their business development function is often under-resourced.
Our services include:
- Due diligence support (market, competitor and IP analysis) for new opportunity in-licensing or joint venturing
- Strategic plan development and implementation
- Additional business development resource
- Transaction support (marketing, partner identification, licensing negotiation and contract completion)
- Business planning and fundraising support
- Patent portfolio online management software - IP Forecaster - for companies to manage their intellectual property assets and forecast future events and costs
- Patent and trademark renewals payment services - IPRIS - for companies to realise significant cost savings
- Access to the US markets and SMEs
Services to help global and multinational companies
Larger, multi-national companies have well organised and resourced intellectual property and business development departments. However, increasingly these organisations are looking to 'open innovation' as a means of accessing innovative technologies; and in quickly changing business environments such companies also have non-core intellectual property assets that they wish to create value from.
Our services include:
- Access to innovative technology opportunities from a wide network of universities and public sector research organisations both in the UK and overseas
- Business development and licensing support to realise value from non-core intellectual property assets
- Outsourced formality support including address for service in the UK
