Our first step is to study your patent and the relevant market. If we then believe that we can help you monetising your patent, we will make you an offer. Only if we are successful in marketing your patent, we will share the proceeds in a way that we agree at the outset.

The typical role of your patent lawyer is to ensure that the patent is properly filed, administered and protected. Munich Innovation on the other side can help you monetise your idea by studying the market and negotiating with potential licencees.

While your invention may be of high strategic relevance for company A, company B may consider it as useless. We know the limits of putting a price on a patent in a purely analytical way. Ultimately the price is being established in the market. It is our role to identify the companies with the highest strategic relevance for your patent and negotiate the best possible licence deal for your idea.

This obviously depends on the commercial terms and the risks associated with them. In Europe there tends to be more a drive towards licencing whereas the US market has more patent sales transactions. Munich Innovation will guide you through the decision making process and recommend the best option to you.

We love entrepreneurs! However, setting up your own company requires a lot more than “just” a good patentable idea. Suddenly it is not just the product that matters but the financing, the recruiting of suitable personnel, setting up of the sales and the overall management. Putting your idea into capable hands through a licencing arrangement may often be the better option. Talk to us if you would like to weigh your alternatives. We are very familiar with the Business Angel and Venture Capital industry and may even provide you with some helpful contacts, so that you can find out what’s best for you.

We focus on the marketing of patented ideas including patents pending. However, if you believe that you have a ground breaking idea, we may guide you through the first steps based on a non-disclosure agreement. We may also recommend reputable patent lawyers to make sure that your patent is filed quickly to provide suitable protection for your intellectual property.

Munich Innovation can help you analyse your patent portfolio from different view points. If you have an extensive patent portfolio it is useful to conduct a classification. This would provide a list of patents being used and patents not being used which may lead to cost savings or monetisation of non-core IP. Furthermore we are able to analyse the patent portfolios of your competitors which often yields surprising results.

Our innovative analysis tools allow your client to conduct a patent-based competitive analysis. Based on those results, we can recommend commercial strategies for your client's intellectual property.

We focus on commercial strategies in the intellectual property area. We do not provide patent law advisory services nor do we finance patent ideas.

We consider ourself a partner of the respective university technology offices. Munich Innovation can provide you with innovative IP analysis tools and monetisation strategies. Our network of industry and country experts supports to ensure that your innovation will be presented to the top management of suitable industrial partners.
