  • New Opportunity and Freedom to Operate Searches: Reporting on the likely commercial success of a prospective innovation thus providing a sound basis for continuing to invest or to re-evaluate
  • Establishing Licences and Agreements: where commercial and technical expertise will make the most of the client’s property and so provide tangible benefits for the client including financial return.
  • IP Valuations; Achieving often the vital underpinnings of financial value for the purposes of investment, exploitation and exit sales
  • Negotiations: Dealing with commercially sensitive and high level discussions between entities often securing agreement by means of skilful facilitation
  • Licence Management: Managing a client’s IP under licence not only monitors performance and accounts for receipts but also manages risk and maintenance
