Intellectual Property Management
What We Do
Fuentek helps clients proactively manage their IP by:
- Evaluating the commercial and internal/strategic value of innovations in the IP portfolio
- Developing and implementing strategies for commercializing IP through out-licensing, start-ups, donations, etc.
- Identifying areas of strength in the IP portfolio, where further resources could be directed to capitalize on those strengths
In addition, Fuentek can merge IP Management activities with Collaborative R&D efforts, creating a Symbiotic Innovation environment.
How We Work
At Fuentek, everything we do is imbued with our core values:
- Creativity: Our outside-the-box thinking when evaluating technologies helps us identify unexpected applications for and users of IP.
- Communication: We effectively obtain information from industry experts without revealing proprietary information, striking a balance between candor and confidentiality.
- Commitment: Because we are committed to doing what is in our client’s best interests, our IP management recommendations are objective and honest.
- Validation: We always ask questions to confirm we understand our client’s goals and validate an expert’s statements through additional research.
- Innovation: We continually look for new ways to more efficiently and effectively manage IP, drawing upon cutting-edge research sources, marketing tools, and information management technologies.
- Value-Added: We gather enough information to help clients make sound decisions without wasting time and resources gathering more data than is needed.
