exploitation

Most businesses spend considerable time and money protecting their intellectual property but they don’t always take advantage of the opportunities to maximise the return on their investment. We help our clients to:

• adopt a realistic assessment of the potential returns and the timescale over which they can be achieved
• understand the market place in which the research / technology is to be commercialised
• identify the right team to manage the commercialisation process
• be creative in structuring the deal and recognise when to compromise

We advise clients on a range of exploitation strategies, including consultancy agreements, technology and material transfers, licensing, sponsorship and franchising and the formation of spinout companies. We also provide practical training on what IP is and how to maximise its value.
