IP Transactions & Technology Transfer
Munich Innovation monetises patents and other intellectual assets for the joint benefit of the inventor as well as the buyer or licencee. In this, we apply a similar logic and approach used in corporate transactions for tangible assets.
Every patent monetisation project starts with an in-depth analysis of the industry and market impact of the innovation and a strategic rationale analysis for the potential acquirers of this technology.
Only when our analysis of technology and market clearly crystalises the benefits of a new patent to a group a prospective buyers, we proceed to a pre-marketing phase where we collect as much industry feedback as possible setting up a dedicated website as a communication platform and, in the case of a consumer product, use social networks to gather potential customer reactions.
At Munich Innovation, we believe that the ample preparation and industry expertise that we put into each patent that we accept for monetisation purposes leads to much more focussed and beneficial discussions and better results for all parties.
IP Advisory & Consulting Services
We also offer support services for patent professionals in law firms and corporate departments for intellectual property.
Munich Innovation conducts competitive analyses of patent portfolios within an industry and gives recommendations as to strenghtening these portfolios in light of a corporate strategy or analyses of monetisation opportunities for non-core intellectual property. Munich Innovation uses state-of-the-art proprietary analysis techniques which have been of great value to patent professionals in many countries.
