IP Optimisation™

Holding Period IP Optimisation

We work with the portfolio companies of VC and PE investors to optimise their IP value between investment and exit. We also work with corporates looking to reposition themselves and their IP to financial markets and other stakeholders.

Working in our five core IP areas, IP Strategy, IP Assets and Asset Quality, IP Risk and Risk Management, IP Licensing and Standards and IP Governance™, we help create the best possible portfolio of IP assets in our client companies and the best IP presentation during the holding period.

Projects often start with the design of an IP Strategy, implemented through our IP Governance™ tools and processes.

If this internal optimisation does not go far enough in delivering the IP strategy, or cannot be obtained fast enough, we access the market for acquiring IP assets or rights in IP assets from third parties. Many of the world’s leading companies are freely and openly buying or licensing in IP assets, often for heavily discounted values. The IP world is open for licensing and this under-the-counter market can also benefit smaller companies.
