Intellectual Property Management
Project Leadership’s Intellectual Property Management (IPM) Service Line helps law firms and corporate patent houses to manage, improve and resolve issues pertaining to IP business operations. PLA offers focused thought leadership in IP management and prosecution. As the IP industry is facing great change in IP-focused technologies to support Intellectual Property Management, our team can help you to expand conventional business models to smartly leverage core docketing and prosecution information in more far-reaching and pervasive portfolio management strategies.
Project Leadership Associates helps clients to implement best practices through an evolution of competencies that comprise our IPM value continuum - Workflow, Automation, Collaboration, and Knowledge Management. These core competencies build on one another to realize exponential gains, from tactical, day-to-day operations – the “low-hanging fruit” that can present quick and meaningful success – to the most strategic levels of thought in the organization.
Our approach to IP Management best practices focuses on complete IP Lifecycle Management – we believe the most meaningful value is derived by leveraging the three cornerstones of the IP business model – People, Process and Technology – in a holistic approach that always considers the context of the IP. Our IP Management experts have developed and honed our IPM methodologies to focus on bringing value to your organization through the following solutions:
