IP Contract Management
Contracts and agreements are not just drafted, signed and then forgotten about. For them to maintain their value, they require meticulous tracking to ensure that any renewal deadlines are reminded and prompted when they get close. Similarly all details related to revisions or amendments must be collected and recorded alongside documents, and must be easily accessible when required for review.
We can assist your legal teams throughout the process, helping them to avoid excessive communication and making sure that you remain updated on any changes, deadlines or payments.
Maintain oversight of renewal opportunities and agreed revenue streams
Keeping track of the paper trail created throughout the day-to-day management of an IP portfolio can be time consuming, and increasingly complex as the portfolio grows and crosses borders. IP Contract Management can help you to manage your renewals more efficiently, and keep track of any payments due, both to you or to third parties, that arise from any ongoing agreements.
Oversight can be provided for a specific project, or family or rights, or on an ongoing basis for your entire portfolio. Amendments and updates are recorded and potential discrepancies can be quickly recognised and rectified, as well as assisting your team in identifying potential breaches or pending issues.
