Client challenges
An IT-based start-up developing computer-aided simulation and design solutions, with rapid development, hadn’t been able to identify or manage its valuable technology.
The importance of IP was growing for the client, not least due to large traditional industry actors quickly building own positions in to the digital sphere.
To successfully navigate the increasingly competitive climate, the client needed an IP strategy to ensure a strong control position over its profitable technology.
Project with Konsert
- Konsert supported the client by identifying and defining the client’s most valuable technology assets through a value and control assessment.
- Based on the assessment Konsert worked in close collaboration with the client in crafting a multi-layered control strategy was developed for the key technology assets, combining both technical, contractual and IPR-related measures.
Impact
- Konsert supported the client by identifying and defining the client’s most valuable technology assets through a value and control assessment.
- Taking a stand from the assessment, in close collaboration with the client, Konsert developed a control strategy for the key technology assets, combining both technical, contractual and IPR-related measures.
- The strategy included tools to improve the client’s ability to communicate, assess and manage the most valuable technology assets.
- A final outcome was an overall foundation for strengthening the client’s competitive position through a multi-layered control strategy.
