Portfolio Mangement

Efficiently Building Valuable Portfolios

Our goal is not to build you a large IP portfolio, but to partner with you in efficiently building a valuable one. Because our team includes experts in every aspect of IP—strategy, procurement, acquisition, licensing, and litigation—we can anticipate the road ahead.

DSM combines IP Portfolio Management with a valuation analysis ensuring that the acquisition and sale of patents strengthen the overall position of the organization. The DSM Five Forces of IP Management ensures that organizations are fully protected once they are on boarded within our IP Portfolio Management.

Services

The services that we provide include but are not limited to:

  • Tracking and monitoring IP registration fillings and managing cost of ownership.

  • Identifying entities who are infringing or violating your IP assets.

  • Advising clients on freedom of operations as a pre-emptive action to ensure that corporations are not sued and limit exposure to litigation.

  • Building a complementary set of IP assets that increase overall financial value for the organization.

  • Identifying key value drivers for your existing bundle of IP assets within a given portfolio. This allows organizations to analyze the financial returns of a single or group of IP and its economic advantages.

  • Analysis of financial health of current and/or prospective IP partners.

  • Audit of existing licensing and partnership agreements to ensure maximum return for our clients. This allows for renegotiation or restructuring of the contract to ensure that revenues are maximized for our clients, thus limiting the amount of money that is left on the table.

  • Leading the purchase or sale of IPs are required by the client. This can be done as a proactive process to increase overall IP value, or as a defensive process when necessary.

  • Coordinating the various IP requirements within the pre M&A process and ensuring full integration and value maximization within the M&A process.

  • Leading the announcement and press release process of any and all of your IP assets.

  • Identifying and re-investing in new IP assets that will further increase the economic returns to your organization.
