Common Questions Asked

Tynax helps clients to answer a number of important questions such as:

  • What's the most effective strategy for our patent portfolio?
  • What are the financial implications if we make our patents available for non-competitive licensing?
  • If we prune our portfolio regularly, how much revenue will we generate from selling off the unwanted assets?
  • How much should we budget to spend to acquire the patents we need to support our new product direction?
  • What's the best method for commercializing this set of technologies?

Financial Justification

Many patent holders are sitting on under-utilized assets that could generate significant revenues if properly marketed.  Tynax consulting fees can be quickly recovered from incremental revenue generated from the sale of unnecessary patents, licensing and technology transfer revenues.

High-tech organizations of all types have learned that significant costs can result from a patent and I.P. portfolio that is mismatched to the organizations current business activities and its future directions.  By offering a marketplace perspective, Tynax can help clients prioritize their activities, focus on profit-maximizing projects and eliminate the costs associated with unnecessary patents and developments that are best discontinued.

Legal Justification

Patent litigation is an expensive and distracting activity that most corporations wish to avoid.  In an ideal world, the company's patent portfolio provides perfect coverage for its product and the threat of infringement litigation is insignificant.  However, in the fast moving high technology markets, successful companies often quickly change direction and the patent coverage is constantly struggling to keep up with the current and next-generation of products.

With access to the patent trading marketplace, Tynax can help corporate clients formulate an I.P. strategy aimed at mirroring the product offering with patent coverage.  By quickly adjusting the portfolio through acquisition and licensing, the company's exposure to litigation can be much reduced.
