About
取り巻く環境をよく精査して好機を捉える
イノベーションを創出する新興企業、多国籍企業、及びその他の知的財産を扱う組織は、IP戦略のオプションに直面した際、弊所に助言を仰ぎます。弊所はクライアントの商業部、法務部、及び技術部のスタッフと協力して、クライアントの掲げるビジネス目標に沿ったIPポートフォリオを構築します。欧州、英国、米国の拠点を通じて、現存又は作成中のポートフォリオを精査する際には、侵害を回避でき強いIP保護のある製品に基づきビジネスプランが形成されていることを見極めます。これには、技術をライセンス供与又は重要でない資産を売却して収入源とする、コスト削減のために資産を寄付又は放棄する、及び現存するポートフォリオを強化かつ拡大するための買収の提案をする、ことにより資産の特定や優先順位付けをしていく作業が伴います。
