Making IP workfor your business.
Business and enterprise. Invention and law.
Two areas of expertise. One value.
Before the procedure
Before filing a patent,there is a more important question.
How will that patent contribute to the business?What should be protected, what should come first, and where should resources go?
FOR EVERY BUSINESS
Companies without an IP department.
Companies that want their existing IP function
to contribute more directly to the business.
REFRAME
Whatever the size of your IP function, we can work with you to shape IP activity that genuinely supports your business.
Is the goal to preserve competitiveness, expand the market, or create revenue and the next stage of growth? Taking the business, technology and IP landscape into account, we consider where to compete and what to protect. We make the options and the reasoning behind them clear, then work with you through execution.
CONTINUOUS STRATEGIC LOOP
And IP is not something you decide once and leave unchanged.
Identify the value, choose how to protect it, decide how far to invest, and review as circumstances change. These four decisions form a continuous cycle.
One continuous cycleCorporate IP activity
What to protect
Where does the value lie—in the business, technology or brand?
How to protect it
Which approach—patents, know-how, contracts or something else—best fits the objective?
How far to invest
How should countries, scope, timing and cost connect to the business plan?
When to review
As the business and its environment change, what should remain and what should change?
What matters is not an impressive plan,
but decision criteria that work in the real business.
OUR APPROACH
Partnership means more than words.
From procedure to purpose.
FROM PROCEDURE TO PURPOSE
From procedure
to purpose.
We do not begin with “Should we patent it?” We begin with what the business needs to protect and how it intends to use that value.
FROM ONE ANSWER TO CHOICES
From one answer
to real choices.
Patents, know-how and contracts. Domestic or foreign, timing and cost. We structure the alternatives so your company can choose rather than imposing a single answer.
FROM OUTSOURCING TO OWN DECISION
From outsourced judgment
to informed company decisions.
Rather than handing judgment over to an adviser, your company sees the same information and reasoning and decides the way forward with confidence.
One Brand. One Value.
Two areas of expertise.One value.
Two organizations with different starting points bring their respective expertise together to create one value.
