IP Budgeting

Expenses involved in the protection of intangible assets (IP) such as patents, trademarks or designs can be high and at times difficult to estimate. Uncertainty about future development of one’s own IP portfolio and lack of access to information on case prosecution as well as variable external factors, typically the costs of required assistance by foreign counsel or applicable official fees, often result in budget deviations.

These deviations can be substantial and significantly affect the overall budget. Our IP budgeting service provides our clients with clear, periodic estimates over such expenses and costs, reducing the risk of incorrect budgeting and at the same time eliminating a work intensive step of the budgeting process. This service is provided at a fixed fee and in an easily accessible standard format.
