Our Vision for You
To provide expert guidance so you can benefit from your intellectual property.
“Launch the IP Within You"
Firms often do not realize the IP within – and miss out on taking advantage of the value received by their customers.
This applies to companies large and small.
One of the benefits of using this website is to understand that there may be valuable IP that is not priced in the provision of services -- but is used and effectively given away to the firm’s customers.
Where This Is Relevant
- When a company has a significant array of off-the-shelf information products
- When a company has some product offerings, but not a significant array
- Even when a company or firm does not have any product offerings, but has developed techniques that result in reduced labor charges for their clients and thus reduced costs.
Whether a firm provides services to the government or to the private sector, taking account of intellectual property in pricing decisions can provide the gateway to enhanced revenue and profitability.
You may decide to charge for your IP, or not, but you need to be aware of it. Why?
Even when not charging for IP, awareness allows your company to spur competitive advantage, ensuring that potential customers know about enhanced capabilities not present in other firms.
We can help you decide when to charge, how much to charge, and when to forgo pricing for these additional proficiencies.
These decisions are even more important for smaller firms.
How We Can Help
Users can go to the Examples tab where information is provided on both real-life examples as well as recommendations on how intellectual property can be included in pricing decisions. Also included -- what happens when firms fail to take account of the value of these capabilities.
IP Solutions will periodically publish a Recommendations Column – free to users of the website -- with some dos and don’ts, and recommended price/charging procedures for a firm’s IP.
From time to time, Podcasts will be generated discussing specific approaches used by others in recouping the value generated by a firm’s IP.
