IP Portfolio Management

The management of an intellectual property portfolio is a critical component of regional and global business that requires investigation, planning and prosecution.  Intellectual property decisions must be done timely and with aforethought.  Too often companies overlook the importance of managing their intellectual property which results in uninformed decisions and the loss of the valuable asset. For example, some businesses place a higher value on tangible things such as brick and mortar, but fall short of applying importance to those ideas and intangible assets that support the economic foundation of the company itself.  In the opposite direction, some company’s may have an unbounded patenting scheme not guided by business plans and corporate principles.  While time and money are spent, little value usually derived from such unbounded schemes.
