Businesses are under increasing pressure to reinvent themselves and stay competitive. With IP licensing, businesses can enter into profitable collaborations and explore new markets.
Inversely, getting the right advice and assistance can help businesses protect their key assets in specific territories and maintain their competitiveness through strong IP-focused policies and agreements.
For an organisation to properly register their IP for protection and manage their IP portfolio to the best potential, a comprehensive process including the drafting of adequate agreements and registration to local and international platforms is required.
Getting the best commercial deals when commercialising IP requires a proper strategy, be it through preparing expert reports on IP valuation, or the drafting of exclusive and non-exclusive licensing agreements.
Ownership of IP also brings various tax, transfer pricing, financial and legal implications. Working closely with specialists in such fields can help maximise an organisation’s investment in the development and commercialisation of their unique technology.
We can help you on certain funding opportunities, namely:
Advising on any available incentives relating to IP, including advice on the Patent Box Regime and R&D incentive schemes;
Assistance with the preparation and review of application forms and various correspondence with the relevant Authorities;
Assisting with performing calculations to optimise the benefit that could be availed of;
Assisting with ongoing reporting requirements;
Assisting on funding opportunities for other capital and operating expenditure.
