IP Strategy
Does your business have an intellectual property (IP) strategy? The vast majority do not, or believe that a vague set of policies and a few patent filings represents a strategy. A properly implemented IP Strategy can build added shareholder value, even in a tough economic climate. ipVA creates and implements IP strategies that deliver practical results for businesses throughout the world.
IP Governance™
Do you know what questions to ask of your business to understand if its IP is being effectively managed? ipVA has developed eight IP governance modules that provide answers to these questions and build a framework for effective IP management and reporting. These modules embed IP awareness and transparency into your business.
IP Benchmarking™
Do you know how your IP quality and management compares to your competitors? Do you know how your IP governance measures up against the world’s leading IP companies? Companies demonstrating IP sophistication and management demonstrably and consistently out-perform their markets and competitors. ipVA can compare you to the best.
Investors and IP
Are you a venture capital or private equity investor seeking to understand the quality and value of IP owned by a portfolio company or a potential investment? ipVA acts for VC and PE investors at all three stages of a typical investment; diligence, holding period and exit. On later investment rounds and exit ipVA can put the value of the IP into play as part of the business’ valuation.
