Your intellectual property assets first must be identified to properly realise their value. Whether it is a new technology arising from research and development, or as know-how developed within your business over many years, identifying IP is the first step.

Neuventa can help you find the determine what makes your creation or business unique.

R&D Teams

Once the product development team has finished and something new has been created, which may be breakthrough technology or an incremental improvement, we provide the expertise to assess the development and provide an analysis on the novel and inventive aspects.

Academic Institutions

A manuscript has been drafted on the latest research, before submitting it for publication it has been submitted for IP review. We will assess the research to determine if there is a new technological development that could be patent protected.

Legal Teams

A production facility often has significant know-how in their processes. We can conduct an IP audit and identify what may be valuable intangible assets. Any proprietary or confidential know-how can be protected as a trade secrets.

Leading innovators ensure they have an overview of the IP landscape in their target markets, to not only keep informed of the latest developments, but to also ensure their own technology will have freedom to operate.

However, navigating intellectual property rights can be a complex and risky endeavour. Neuventa provides the expertise to assess the issues and provide the answers you need to make the best decisions.

R&D Management

When starting on a new project, having information about the state of the art can be crucial. Gaining a deeper appreciation of your competitor’s developments can lead to new insights. We can conduct a patent landscape search and provide an analysis of activity in the technology field of interest. If risk of infringement is a concern a search and analysis can be performed to determine if there is freedom to operate for a proposed technology.

Business Team

If a competitor’s patent or patent application is blocking access to a new technology or product development, there may be an option to challenge the patent’s validity. We can perform a critical assessment of the patent and provide an opinion on any potential validity issues, such as lack of novelty or inventive step.

Investors

The most valuable asset of a start-up is often in the form of intangible assets. Evaluating the strength of those assets is an essential step in the due diligence process. We can make an assessment of intangible assets such as new inventions, patent applications and confidential know-how and provide an expert opinion on their potential to provide a competitive advantage.

An IP strategy is an organisation’s plan of action to manage and protect its intangible assets. The IP strategy is reflected in all stages of an innovative organisations operations; from the initiation of the creative process, through product and service development, IP identification and protection, and commercialisation of IP. The purpose of an IP strategy is to utilise the full potential of intangible assets and to help the organisation navigate the IP rights of others.

Product Managers

The development of a new product or service should include an IP plan that is consistent with the organisation’s IP strategy. The IP plan establishes how IP is to be used in the development and how or when IP will be protected. We can provide you with the required expertise to make the most of your IP potential.

IP Managers

Filing a provisional patent application is only the first step in protecting a new invention. Once the application reaches the international filing stage, decisions must be made on where the patent should be filed. Unless cost is no object, there must be balance between the scope of protection and the provided budget. We can assist you in making good decisions on country filing scope to maximise return on investment for patent protecting your technology.
