Intellectual property (IP) management is in its infancy, and those who understand and implement an effective strategy will control, influence and dominate their industry.

Every corporation owns IP in one form or another, whether it is a patented technology or a trade secret. However, the vast majority of companies do not recognize the benefits of effective IP management, valuation, protection and monitoring.

IP is quickly emerging as a primary driver of corporate valuation; however, it is often a company's most undervalued business asset.  The average company is missing a portion of its market value from its balance sheet, of which IP is a major component.

In the world, as it is, observes the New York Times, “Intellectual property has been transformed from a sleepy area of law and business to one of the driving engines of a high technology economy.”  The vast majority of companies, however, are simply unaware of the often-enormous economic and competitive values that lie untapped with their patent portfolios.  In fact, some firms are opposed to the competitive use of patents altogether, fearing an IP arms race that only large corporations can afford to win.

An IP review gives companies an understanding of the current state of their IP portfolio.  The IP review is the cornerstone to possessing accurate information to make informed choices concerning the impact of IP assets.

Advantia’s IP review gives management key information about IP issues and assists them in developing innovation awareness programs, examining trade-secret protection policies and implementing IP's best practices.
