INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & PATENT LICENSING SUPPORT
The licensing process relies heavily on personal networking, and it may take up to 18 months (or more) to find a licensee(or) and to negotiate a deal. It can be even harder to fill a technology need that might allow you to bring a new product to market more quickly. Think about it, where do you go to seek new technology?
Intellectual property can be a company's most valuable asset. But simply owning intellectual property is no guarantee of success. This is especially true among technology-based industries, in which technology developers need to find the most effective ways to leverage their intellectual property, and technology users need to understand how to most effectively obtain the intellectual property they need.
In today's volatile, fragmented technology marketplace, licensing is fast becoming the intellectual property strategy of choice. It affords owners a viable means of maximizing revenue, while providing borrowers with cost-effective, relatively risk-free access to the intellectual property of others. But whether licensing-in or licensing-out, the process is a complex one, involving, among other things, extensive market research, identifying prospects to sell or buy intellectual property, negotiating the best possible deal, and successfully managing the relationship.
Businesses are quickly discovering the benefits of out-licensing their intellectual property. Our clients can best unlock the value inherent in their IP portfolios by using the services of a focused partner who excels at the business of IP commercialization.
