What we do
Intellectual Asset Management
Intellectual Property protection makes the intangible assets of ideas, innovations, processes, designs and know how tangible. In turn these tangible assets become useful tools that can be used to maintain your company's edge and valuable commodities that can be traded in the market place.
We help our clients identify and extract intellectual assets and put in place systems to help capture, protect and exploit these to increase company revenues. Our experience, expertise and network helps our clients drive down IP operational costs, increase the scope of their monopoly and drive return on their intellectual property.
Infringement Management
If you think about intellectual property rights on a timeline, infringement is in the middle. Infringement is the act. Infringement is the implementation of a conflicting brand identity or the recreation of a protected product feature. Infringement damages reputation, harms customer confidence and ultimately hits bottom-line financials. Infringement is what we wish to prevent.
Being left of infringement is proactive. It is here where low cost actions have large impact.
A person left of infringement can understand, evaluate and address the events that must occur for the infringement to happen.
Being left of infringement means we identify the risks, take appropriate action and stop the infringement before it occurs.
Being on the other end of the timeline is reactive. It is here where high cost actions have less impact.
Legal actions to defend an accusation, attempts to invalidate an IP right, settlement negotiations and court verdicts.
Whenever a person is right of the infringement, it means they have lost the initiative and control of the situation.
We help our clients understand, evaluate and address their exposure to IP risk which ever side of infringement they are on. By giving objective analysis and real-world advice we help our clients make sound business decisions to avoid or tackle head-on infringement issues.
No matter the challenge, we focus on delivering practical and enduring results, and equipping our clients to grow and lead.
