Consulting
Assessing the different intellectual assets that the organization own or use in their products and services. This
includes but not limited to methodologies, marketing channels, software tools, developed materials, contacts, networking assets, databases, reputation, know-how, trade secrets and other different assets.
Conducting a comprehensive due diligence to identify the status and ownership of Intellectual properties and make sure you are not infringing any IP of others, using different tools such as the patent information services and market research.
This is where we highlight intellectual assets that need to be developed and the tools that shall be used to create value inside the organization. These tools can be Intellectual Property Rights that need to be registered, policies and procedures to codify knowledge in order to protect their secrecy, a strategy to capitalize on being the first mover to the market, contractual agreements to protect the organization’s soft IP, or technological solutions that enforce protection and facilitate the tracking of beneficiaries.
Based on the IP strategy, we will recommend the IP-based revenue models that can be adopted by the SMEs, the different ways of packaging their intellectual assets to capture the maximum value, and the different licensing structures and agreements that suit their businesses.

Who?
A public library wanted to commercialize its assets, turning its intellectual property into a source of income.
Innovety helped the government select and implement a commercialization model for the library archival material.
How Did We Do It?
We started by identifying the different library’s assets. The library owned a wide range of books, newsletter clippings, and archives. We then listed all the business opportunities for those assets and recommended the library to digitize its archival material. Finally, we proposed three commercialization model to the government: either to sell those digital versions, license them to another library for a certain time period or make the material open source.
