IP Portfolio Building
A strong IP portfolio can be the backbone of a successful business. We help our clients make smart choices by conducting an IP checkup to identify high-value patents in their portfolios, validate and refine their processes, incorporate patents in budgeting and forecasting and realize greater value from their patenting activities. We also help our clients consider how they can leverage licenses, trademarks and other forms of IP to build a comprehensive matrix of IP protections.
Our roster of clients covers everything from software to military, and includes startups and large, established businesses alike. As experts in portfolio management, we have:
Built targeted patent development programs resulting in approximately $1 Billion in patent license bookings.
Advised a large military contractor preparing for a spinout. We identified key inventions, mapped those on to the core and vertical markets, and set the plan for the post spinout activity.
Prepared a software startup for potential assertions in a highly litigious space by helping them refocus their patent spending—including specific decision criteria for patent filings.
Shared patent portfolio management techniques with a large open-source company so they could get more value.
Helped startups to develop a right-sized IP program and strategy.
