Commercially-driven low-cost and web-based IP Tools
IP Bloks
Businesses are constantly generating knowledge, therefore adding value on a continual basis by means of the intellectual assets (IAs) and IP Rights (IPRs) they create. But the stark reality is that companies often do not know how to identify, manage and select for IP protection the knowledge that they generate
Our experience has taught us that businesses shy away from IP because this is perceived as being complex and expensive – not true, since not having the right IP in place is exponentially more expensive than the cost of securing the correct IP protection in the first place
Early-stage businesses tend to underestimate the value of the IP they generate – this leads to low valuation and deferred or reluctance to investment
High-growth businesses tend to focus on patents and trademarks, leaving a lot of their know-how unaccounted for
There is no clear mapping of the value residing in the IP and the actual business valuation – so there is a need to bridge this gap
And this is where the IP Bloks tools come in to support businesses in recognising and realising the full potential of the knowledge and IP they create
In the digital age, IP is considered a core part of a business' value, and not just legal paperwork.
Embracing a digital IP management system allows focusing on strategic issues like portfolio development, identifying IP opportunities and driving business innovation.
Businesses can ‘make the intangible, tangible’ by designing their IP strategy and IP portfolios using the IP Tools as building blocks in a ‘mix-and-match’ format.
