About - Firm Profile
Intellectual
Assets, Corp. was formed to take advantage of our unique
background. We've
evaluated new technology from all angles, including fortune 500,
small
public companies, university, and federal agency licensing programs.
Our
mission is to help your company develop an unfair strategic
advantage by
skillfully evaluating your and your competitor's IP resources. IP is
a
government protected monopoly designed to allow you to take
advantage of
newly developed technology.
You
must position your firm for success, strengthening your resources in
your
areas of excellence and harvesting value (while limiting your time)
elsewhere. Intellectual Assets, Corp. is uniquely positioned to
understand the state of your IP. We can recommend and implement
both
in-licensing and out-licensing programs to increase your strategic
advantage
now.
We approach
new products from a business perspective with an innate
understanding of the
value IP brings to you.
