IP litigation from competitors and others, and the threat of litigation, is increasing. There has been recent growth in large numbers of non-practising entities (NPEs, also known as trolls) and licensing organisations operating to make money from IP as a pure financial and litigation business model. Successful product and service companies need to learn fast how to both continue operations whilst in litigation, and be able to authoritatively explain and present their arguments as to how the risk is being both managed and mitigated.
Smart litigation management goes well beyond simply instructing your legal team. It means avoiding disruption in sales opportunities and with customers, not distracting your management team and dealing with the budget and other costs involved.
ipVA acts for companies large and small in assisting management teams to successfully manage IP litigation. We help our clients to identify the right strategy to defend actions, from assessment of the cost-benefit of early settlement through to aggressively defending actions by going on the offensive using the business’s own or bought in IP. From identifying and engaging with the right law firm to providing sales collateral and comfort to customers, ipVA helps its clients' businesses continue to succeed even during litigation or threat of litigation.
