Every business creates and owns intellectual property (IP). A key task is therefore
to identify what IP your business owns, what it may be worth and how it can be put
to effective use to gain a competitive edge. What’s more, IP can have a real value,
which if not identified, could result in your business being seriously undervalued.
At Hutchinson IP, we can conduct IP audits and/or advise you on how to keep track
of the IP that you are creating and how to exploit it effectively. We can work with
you to develop an overall IP strategy that maximises value and reduces stress. We
can also help you to set up internal systems for effectively identifying which IP
could benefit from being protected.
Our IP Audit service involves spending time at your business, working with your staff
and getting to know your products and processes in detail. We will prepare a report
that summarises your business' IP position and which identifies key areas where it
may be in your commercial interests to obtain IP protection and/or to attack the
IP of your competitors. Working in-house, we will help you to set up systems to
"harvest" the IP that your business is creating and will deliver a "crash course"
on IP so that your key staff are better able to identify potential IP issues and
to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to know when to seek professional
advice.
Our IP Audits are performed on a fixed-fee consultancy basis and are of a scope and
duration appropriate to your requirements. Please contact us for further information
regarding IP audits and advice regarding IP strategies.
