IP management and legal advice

Advice on IP management

I am focused on IP Management having profound know how in various areas from practical experience. That ranges from strategic IP initiatives,IP risk management toIP transactions. Thus I can offer your company extensive advice and also combine it with legal advice and contract drafting.

Legal Advice

I advise on IT and IP legal issues with a focus on contractual relationships. This is complementary to my advice on IP management by being able to draft and negotiate the corresponding contracts.

If your company generally needs legal assistance, I can also act as your external legal department.

Details:

Strategic use of IP

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.

Processes and Structures

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).

IP Transactions

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.

Risk Management

Risk management and IP strategy need to be aligned and overlap. Risk management, like IP strategy, is based on the company's corporate strategy.
In the area of IP compliance, I can advise on risk mitigation measures and how to implement them (e.g. through contracts or training) to regulate risk areas through divers measures.
