INTELLECTUAL POWER — IPX Patent Partners

TOP/SERVICES/FOR ENTERPRISE

For Enterprise

New business, from both IP and the market.

An IP department that supports the core business often cannot reach as far as new ventures. This is a matter of structure. One more specialist team, placed next to the business unit.

The Structural Gap

Three walls stand between new business and IP.

WALL 01

The wall of resources

The IP department has its hands full managing the portfolio of existing businesses. Questions from new business inevitably wait.

WALL 02

The wall of fields

In fields outside the core business, software, AI and brand for example, the key points of prosecution change.

WALL 03

The wall of speed

Caught between moving fast apart from the parent organization and moving carefully in line with company-wide governance. This structure is particular to new business.

Working Together

A team dedicated to new business, next to your IP department.

We take on the new business portion alone, as a dedicated team. The work of your IP departmentis not something we replace.Your department stays focused on the core business, and one team is added to the existing structure. That is the division of roles.

On retainer for the business unit, going into strategy, invention mining and market design.

How It Works

How we start working together

We work in a form that fits your internal approval and procurement processes. We check for conflicts of interest first. If we already act for a competitor, we tell you at that point.

  1. 01

    Non-disclosure agreement

    We can use your form or ours.

  2. 02

    Current situation and conflict check

    We hear the situation and the issues of the new business, and make clear what we can take on.

  3. 03

    Proposal and quotation

    We present scope, team and fees in writing, in a form you can take through internal approval.

  4. 04

    Trial matter

    Start with one matter. Judge the next step after you have seen our quality and speed.

  5. 05

    Move to an ongoing structure

    We move to a structure that matches the phase of your business, such as a dedicated team or a retainer.
