At Meta Yage, we view your Intellectual Property as a key business asset which needs to be harnessed and managed by IP professionals in order to fully explore its potential and for the organization to benefit from its R&D.
Insight gained from analysis of patent data reveals important information on potential clients, competitors, technology domains, human resources as well as markets. Thus it is crucial to create a strategic roadmap for your IP.
IP Strategy broadly involves 4 stages, Identification, Optimization, Protection and Monetization. Meta Yage IP Strategy Consulting helps you at all of the 4 stages in creating and implementing your own Intellectual Property strategy in order for you benefit from the unique competitive advantage that it provides.
IP Audit
At Meta Yage we understand the anxiety of the patent owner who wishes for the best possible protection for his efforts. Therefore the requirement for an Intellectual asset to qualify for protection, and the scope of the protection which can be obtained needs an expert’s evaluation.
A skilled IP strategy consultant who places the business strategy first can identify and obtain a broad and high level of legal protection for often overlooked technically non complex improvements that, however provide a competitive advantage for your company, and are hence worth protecting.
Periodic IP Audits ensure that:
a. IP is identified and protected before it is too late.
b. The value of the IP is correctly estimated.
c. The scope of protection that can be obtained for the IP is gauged accurately.
d. The strongest level of protection for valuable IP is obtained.

R&D Optimization
Most large organizations that invest heavily in R&D are often unable to successfully monetize the IP generated out of their research centers.
