IP Assessment is a service that provides you with an independent and in-depth expert analysis of your Intellectual Property (IP).

This service is targeted at anyone that needs to receive an unbiased, objective, and expert opinion on the commercial viability of a specific piece(s) of IP.

The major benefit of this service is the 3rd party validation reports on the subject IP that help you to make better IP management decisions. In addition, as a result of your IP being externally evaluated, you will be able to focus your attention on only the high-value pieces of IP in your portfolio. If needed, we can start by performing an extensive IP Survey to find and inventory all the IP in your organization so that we can do the IP Assessment on the appropriate pieces of IP.

How this service works:

• Identify your IP (including pre-Patent items) to review with our Experts Review Board (ERB)
• Select potential members of ERB based upon Intellectual Property IP(s)
• Review proposed ERB membership with you and gain your approval
• Send out IP(s) material to ERB under Non-Disclosure
• Hold ERB moderated conference call generating results and action items. The call(s) are recorded for future reference
• Produce a detailed technical report based upon the ERB results.
  This report includes:
