IP Portfolio Analysis
Know What You Own.
Understand What It’s Worth.
An intellectual property portfolio is not simply a collection of patents or other forms of intellectual property. It is a strategic asset base that must be analyzed, categorized, and positioned for leverage. It can be a valuable asset that enhances the perceived value of the owner of the intellectual property, and it can also be an expensive, non-productive waste of resources and time.
To avoid the latter possibility, we conduct structured IP Portfolio analyses designed to answer five critical questions:
- Why is your IP valuable to you and others?
- Have you considered all verticals where you IP may have value?
- What are best practices for rating and enhancing the value of your IP?
- Who might benefit from access to your IP?
- How might a deal be structured with each target to achieve a win/win outcome?
