IP Management

We advise on all aspects of intellectual property management, from developing IP policies and protocols, due diligence and intellectual property audits to transfers of intellectual property, IP registers, strategies and implementation for commercial exploitation, tax effective structuring, joint ventures (incorporated and unincorporated) and strategic alliances. We work with clients to identify legal risks, conduct business and industry analyses and make commercially sound management decisions in respect of their intellectual property.

We advise on IP management from a risk analysis perspective applying ISO 31000 methodology. This involves identifying key IP risks, understanding the significance of those risks and developing cost effective treatment of those risks, all of which should be undertaken in an auditable manner.

IP management takes on significant importance in the context of IP commercialisation transactions whether they be licensing, mergers, spin offs, or distribution arrangements or franchising. We advise on all aspects of IP commercialisation.
