IP Sales, Licensing & Tech Transfers

We help you gather necessary information and provide objective data to support the evaluation of divestment opportunities and identify candidate IP assets suitable for sale (e.g. assets that are no longer strategic or relevant to your business). This includes supporting you with your monetisation strategy by identifying potential buyers and creating qualitative arguments supporting the license or sale value of the assets being divested/licensed out. A key element of an out-licensing project is the review of the IP against market dynamics to identify value. Additionally, running a licensing process as well as a pre-emptive process for selected prospective licensees will help build competitive tension and maximise value.

Deloitte IP Advisory provides you with objective data to support your own evaluation of divestment opportunities so that you can evaluate whether to sell and on what terms while maintaining your intellectual property strategy is in alignment with your corporate strategy. We can support you with:

• Licensing negotiations
• Technology transfer programs
• Exiting a market / product line
