Intellectual Property Consulting

Today’s businesses succeed through development and leverage of their proprietary intellectual properties (IP) and intangible assets. For most, the value of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, brands, internet assets and technology assets outweigh the value and contribution of their tangible assets.

To grow profitably, your business needs to identify and leverage these key assets. Analysis, valuation and evaluation of IP and intangible assets are key tools in executing strategic plans, setting an optimal price, growing sales and profits, resolving litigation, allocating precious resources, restructuring, and increasing your business’ value.
