Client Spotlight
Uncovering Value
A law firm focusing on estate planning and family law discovered that a vindictive husband
was hiding potentially valuable assets from his wife in the form of patents and other IP.
Through a series of interviews and research we uncovered a commercially-viable IP
portfolio to which the wife had rights. The process not only provided a source of income for
the wife but gave her and her attorneys a better understanding of the asset management
process and a strategy for future management of her portfolio.
Increasing Value by Licensing Technology
A Fortune 200 OLED (organic light-emitting diode) vendor, aware of their large patent
portfolio, wanted to know whether to enter the market by in-licensing gap-filling
technology or out-licensing their technology to others. We mined their patent portfolio
and that of the current market, analyzed their position in relation to the competition, and
recommended a strategy. The organization chose to license their technology for others to
commercialize, leveraging the strength of their patents and increasing the value of their
assets; projecting a 29% product CAGR (compound annual growth rate).
Competing in an Open Market
A Fortune 200 medical product vendor sought to determine whether or not the time was
right to expand into a specialized segment. They needed to know precisely what their R&D
investment and IP value was in relation to the competition. We mined their patent
portfolio and that of the current market, analyzed their position in relation to the
competition, and recommended a strategy. Aware of their position - strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats - they successfully moved into the segment;
projecting $500M in top line revenue.
Increasing Value and Alleviating Exposure Points
An SME technical operation was concerned about information exposure points,
particularly their customer service trade secrets. They didn't realize the many information
and intellectual assets hidden in their knowledge capital - their employee's expertise. We
documented their processes and procedures, and helped the client understand the
structure of their intellectual assets. We helped them develop, implement, and monitor an
IPAM program that reduced the cost of overall operations and increased the corporate
value.
