This division of the Wrays Group comprises intellectual property professionals who are experts in developing and implementing intellectual capital (IC) strategies and systems for corporate clients.
One of the primary aims of the MSS team is to deliver IC management solutions tailored to suit our clients’ unique commercial and business requirements. Our goals are to help our clients deliver real commercial benefits from their IP asset portfolios. We do this by identifying, crystallising, and protecting latent intellectual property in their organisations, and assisting them in managing their intellectual property monopoly rights to provide additional shareholder value and generate new revenue streams.
To this end, the MSS team can assist clients by doing the following:
- Working with company directors to implement and enhance intellectual capital governance frameworks. Research shows that companies with effective intellectual capital strategies in place outperform the market.
- Partnering with management teams to introduce and manage intellectual capital and IP management systems as a foundation for commercial strategies. MSS can assist with IP audits and due diligence opinions to assess strength, commercial relevance and market potential of patent portfolios. We also assist with surfacing new or unrecognised intellectual assets to deliver additional company value..
- Working with universities and public bodies to set in place processes to clarify IP ownership in joint projects and contract research arrangements.
- Assisting companies with IPO reports to aid stock exchange listings.
