Patent Portfolio Management

Managing a portfolio of intellectual property (IP) rights, e.g. patents, can be a complex exercise. For example, budgetary constraints may force you to limit the number of IP rights within the portfolio. Choosing which IP rights to maintain can be critically important for safeguarding your business interests.

We can assist you in selecting the IP rights that are critically important for your business. We do this by assessing the IP rights in your portfolio as well as by advising which of your new innovations should be protected by IP rights. In this manner, we can help you to concentrate your portfolio on those IP rights that matter to you most, whilst weeding out those rights for which expenditure may not be commercially sensible.
