IP Exploitation

Metis Partners 'IP Exploitation' service provides management teams with a new and different perspective on their current business model, strategy and effectiveness in managing and commercially exploiting their critical intangible assets and intellectual property.

The Why:
By offering an independent and impartial review of your current business model and operations, we aim to challenge management and make them comfortably uncomfortable. Whether we are analysing a company's current operation or assessing new and innovative strategic options, our holistic approach to business analysis, based on our research bank of corporate business models, is designed to help companies understand where the real value exists in their organisations and how to commercially exploit it.

The What:
Whether it is a strategic IP audit you think you need, we have created our own 'Business model and Valuation Assessment' benchmark which helps to reveal the IP that exists within every company. It provides management team with a new and different perspective on their current strategy and business model, and whether they are commercially exploiting their critical IP which can be found at the heart of every business model.  We can also narrow the focus of our engagement, supporting management on critical and current business issues such as:

• assessing intellectual property rights (IPR) portfolios
• brand development
• exploring licensing and other IPR exploitation options
• negotiating license deals
• developing new markets through IP strategies

The Benefits:
We can also make a few simple promises: we will always speak our minds, make you think about how you run your business and why you do things the way you do. And if we think your business model or strategy stinks (or words to that effect), we will tell you it straight. We work with management teams in a pragmatic and straight-forward manner, focusing on the ability of the current business model and strategy to maximise the return on IP to deliver future revenues and profits.
