CommercialiZation

It is essential to the financial success of innovative companies to decide, early in the process, how best to exploit newly developed technology or new products with a view to recovering the resources spent on research and development.

Once the relevant IP rights are in place, it is only prudent to consider whether the production and marketing of new developments are best handled by the company itself or whether such activities could more advantageously be outsourced or out-licensed. In some contexts, the best option may be to even sell or transfer the rights entirely.

For the purpose of assessing the value of IP rights, be it your own or those held by others, it may - e.g. in connection with the sale or take-over of IP portfolios or expansions in the form of mergers or acquisitions - be a good investment to obtain a professional IP Due Diligence Opinion.
