Make the Most of Our IP Acquisitions Proficiency
What We Do
Reconnaissance works hand in hand with clients to create and develop their entire patent portfolio monetization strategy. This is a multi-faceted approach with many simultaneous processes that inform the patent monetization strategy. It is important to have an understanding of the market trends and conditions for the patented technology. This includes competitor landscape and levels of technological crowding i.e. the existence of existing patents in the space.
Information on financials for investment, funding or operational purposes and evaluation of potential rewards or returns from the market need to be considered. Risks and pitfalls need to be analyzed with measures put in place to bypass or eliminate them. It is important to stay vigilant through constant auditing so that the patent is commercially, legally, and technically sound. Asset scoring and patent valuation needs to be carried out based on various quantitative and qualitative factors.
It is important to conduct due diligence to find suitable partners for monetization and narrow them down to the right partner. Entering into negotiations and contract execution finally leads to monetization through direct or indirect channels such as assignment or licensing. Reconnaissance works with the client at every step from start to finish providing clients with expertise and peace of mind.
