IP Sentry

Managing your intellectual property (“IP”) effectively

IP is an asset which can add significant value to a business. It can put you ahead of your competitors, it can be licensed or sold to generate additional revenues and, having a well managed IP portfolio can also greatly improve your business opportunities, as well as attracting outside investment. It is therefore essential that an organisation understands, protects and properly manages its IP in order to maximise these benefits.

IP Sentry is an IP audit product which will help you to review and understand your IP and to implement a system under which you can manage your IP effectively in order to get the most from it. IP Sentry is tailored to meet the requirements of your business but will include:

assessing your IP and how you capture, protect, enforce and manage it
reviewing your IP associated contracts and documents used by the business, such as employee and consultant contracts
identifying areas of risk and improvement and making practical recommendations
implementing recommendations including the amendment and creation of IP related contracts and documents, the development and implementation of IP systems, management committees and policies and, the provision of IP training
developing a clear IP management strategy that is aligned with your overall business strategy
