Intellectual Property Management
Intellectual property, whether patent, design registration, trade secret, copyright or know–how, is an organisation's most valuable asset. Like any asset it must be proactively managed and maintained to deliver value.
Intellectual property is an organic asset requiring proactive management to effectively respond to changes in technologies, markets and competitive environments. Failure to actively manage valuable intellectual assets is frequently a guarantee of mis–allocated resources, extensive IP budgets and poor ROI.
At EverEdge IP we have developed a parcel of services we call Active IP Management™ to assist organisations, large and small to better manage all aspects of intellectual property creation and utilisation. We assist our clients to:
- actively monitor, align and enhance their intellectual assets
- liaise with and manage their intellectual property attorneys to get maximum "bang for IP buck"
- define emergent technology and market opportunities and identify intellectual assets or properties necessary to exploit them
- create a commercial environment and robust IP culture that promotes intellectual asset protection and the utilisation of intellectual property
- implement appropriate freedom–to–operate processes to avoid infringing third party intellectual property assets
Our multi–disciplinary approach means we speak the three languages of business, technology and law, so our people can successfully engage with engineering teams, legal support and business staff to ensure our clients' intellectual assets generate their full potential and avoid "lost in translation" situations.
We understand that only the largest companies can afford a full time intellectual property manager so our Active IP Management™ Program is available on a retainer or pick up, put down basis. So businesses can outsource their intellectual property management function, reduce IP risk and benefit from the experience and insight of a full time IP Manager on staff but at a fraction of the cost.
