The ability to protect intellectual property (IP) assets can make or break a company. We help clients amplify revenue and profits—extracting value from IP portfolios, streamlining IP pipelines and managing risk in entering new markets.

Our IP team works with practices throughout the firm to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions and provide a blueprint for success. We focus not only on future IP positions, but also on maximizing yield from existing portfolios.

Specifically, we assist with:

  • IP audits and portfolio development. We take a close look at clients’ competitive advantages and business models in an effort to ensure the cost of obtaining and protecting IP rights provides a solid return on investment. Our lawyers also provide support in identifying best practices for getting ideas to market, preserving current assets and staking claims for future activity.
  • Competitor assessments. In an IP landscape assessment, we determine key players and patents in a given market space and find areas of opportunity.
  • IP valuation and portfolio optimization. We collaborate with lawyers in practice areas including corporate, investment funds, government contracts, private equity and financial restructuring to help structure and measure clients’ current IP portfolios against the market.
  • Target assessment. Our lawyers review target assets to locate potential infringements challenges arising from those IP rights and determine if the target is compatible with a client’s commercial objectives.
  • IP monetization. We help clients unlock the most value possible from existing assets—which in some cases may have been stagnant—advising on which can be asserted to increase barriers to entry by competitors. Our practitioners also advice on which IP rights can be transferred to third parties to generate revenue within the bounds of our clients’ business models.
  • Litigation. Disputes in the IP space are different. These cases have the power to transform sectors and move markets. We constantly monitor trends in IP litigation and advise on proactive risk management, as well as preparing responses to actions taken by our clients’ competitors.
