IP Strategy Maturity Review

We evaluate the current state of the company’s IP strategy using a structured assessment framework. The review identifies strengths, weaknesses, key risks and development priorities across areas such as portfolio relevance, trade secret protection, IP ownership, FTO awareness, licensing potential and governance.

IP Strategy Development Program

We facilitate the development of a practical IP strategy and action plan together with management, business and technical stakeholders. The outcome is a clear roadmap for what to protect, where to invest, how to manage risks and how IP should support the company’s commercial goals.

External IP Manager

We provide fractional IP leadership for small and growing technology companies that need experienced IP management but do not have a full internal IP function. The service can include coordination with patent attorneys, invention process management, IP roadmap follow-up, FTO prioritization and management-level IP reporting.

The scope and level of support are tailored to the client’s current needs, resources, and stage of growth. As the company, its technology portfolio, and business priorities evolve, the service can be adapted accordingly—ranging from focused support in selected areas to broader, ongoing IP leadership.

The service combines business-focused freedom-to-operate analysis, competitor patent review and a broader assessment of relevant IP risks. The scope is tailored to the company’s technology, products, commercial plans and decision-making needs.

The outcome is a prioritized view of the most commercially relevant risks, their potential impact and the practical actions available to manage them.

The outcome is a practical view of which assets offer the strongest commercial potential, how they could be used or licensed and what actions are required before approaching external parties. The review can support portfolio prioritization, licensing decisions, investment preparation, partnership discussions or a potential sale or other transaction.

Kapelis_IP Licensing Program™ is a structured commercialization service for companies seeking to generate value from patents, software, technologies, trade secrets, data or know-how through licensing or other partnership models. The program can focus on a selected commercial target or support a broader licensing campaign across multiple companies, markets or applications. Unlike the IP Value & Licensing Readiness Review, which assesses potential and prepares the assets for commercialization, the Kapelis_IP Licensing Program™ focuses on active market engagement and transaction development.

Kapelis_IP helps patent owners address these challenges through structured patent enforcement program. We assess the commercial potential of enforcement opportunities, help organize and develop relevant technical and commercial information, coordinate independent evaluation by experienced U.S. litigation counsel and, where appropriate, assist in identifying potential litigation funding and other risk-sharing arrangements. By managing the process as a commercial and strategic project, we reduce the burden on the patent owner and help turn potentially valuable patent rights into actionable enforcement opportunities.

Targeted Patent Enforcement Assessment & Management is a flexible, case-specific service for patent owners that already have a particular patent, patent family, product or potential infringer in mind.  It is designed to determine whether the specific opportunity warrants further development as a ptoential U.S. enforcement matter.  If the opportunity appears commercially viable, Kapelis_IP coordinates the next state of evaluation and case development with appropriate U.S. litigation counsel and, where relevant, potential litigation funders.

Kapelis_IP US Patent Enforcement Management™ is a strategic program for patent owners that want a group of patent assets to be actively assessed and developed for potential U.S. enforcement opportunities. The client designates defined patents for inclusion in the program for an agreed term. Kapelis_IP receives a priority mandate to identify and commercially assess potential US enforcement opportunities involving those patents and to coordinate their development with Avantech Law, LLP, an independent U.S. law firm that specializes in patent litigation.

Where appropriate, Kapelis_IP may also identified or propose potential third-party litigation funding sources to finance eligible litigation costs. Any funding arrangement is separately evaluated and documented among the relevant parties.

Kapelis_IP‘s commercial compensation and Avantech Law’s legal fees are established under separate arrangements with the patent owner and are subject to applicable law and professional obligations. The program is designed to operate with little or no financial commitment by the patent owner.   Kapelis_IP‘s compensation and Avantech Law’s legal fees are payable from a financial recovery, and, where necessary, third-party litigation funding is used to cover external litigation costs.
