Just to thinkIP strategy is just patent strategy is a limiting view. A company should have a comprehensive approach considering all forms of IP. In particular, a holistic IP Strategy is essential in the area of protection of trade secrets or IP licensing to third parties. I advise on licensing, standardization initiatives, open source contributions, technology transfers and R&D collaborations.
I check the status quo of your IP management processes and the organizational set up of the relevant teams. In this I work closely with the involved departments to propose a solution for challenging areas and an implementation plan with specific measures.
I also show options for organizational structures and process flows and make suggestions for the appropriate legal implementations (e.g. license checks, contract clauses).
There are various ways to support and design defensive or offensive strategies through contractual arrangements. Certain transactions can open up new markets or promote innovation. The protection of trade secrets and the controlled licensing of a company's IP is essential. I draft agreements for transactions to support the IP strategy or the IP risk management policy of your company.
