Intellectual Property |
The Firm understands the value of intellectual property. A company’s competitive advantage often depends upon the strength of its intellectual property assets. IP audits and other IP evaluation and planning techniques can provide a clear view of a company’s IP rights and competitive position. The Firm routinely assists clients in cultivating and managing their intellectual property assets by, for example, establishing patent selection guidelines, evaluating the scope of competitors’ patents, developing and managing trademark portfolios and creating policies and procedures for preventing leaks of trade secrets. Adopting these IP protection and management measures can yield valuable insights that can be leveraged in acquisitions, licensing negotiations and discussions with investors.
