Intellectual Property Services

Group Solutions® offers a variety of custom Intellectual Property Management Services

Corporate Awareness "Intellectual Property Management is a Business Strategy, Not A Legal Strategy" is one of our key watchwords. We have developed a one-day workshop that covers critical IP issues. Some of our clients have made it mandatory that all of their management staff attend this course. We can deliver this class anywhere in the world. It is also customized for each company. Attendees also take with them a reference book covering the material covered that day.

IP Strategy How can your company utilize its Intellectual Property as a competitive weapon? Many companies today exchange rights to use particular patents to increase their revenue stream. Organizations that understand how to fully leverage their IP are to have a majority of corporate revenue coming from Intellectual Property.

Patent Reduction to Practice Working with a patent engineer and an expert in patenting rules and regulations, we have the ability to work with your organization to review your patent notebooks, specification diagrams, and other documents to insure that key patent information is included and that it is captured in the right format. Group Solutions® can prepare full patent documentation where requested.

Target Intense Training If you have a group that is to embark on a particular project and needs assistance, we can develop a workshop for them that provides details on how to guard that which they are working on, and how to insure that their information can be easily submitted for patenting.

Trademarking Workshop Trademarks are one of the most powerful weapons companies have to compete with in eCommerce. If you have Intellectual Property, it should be guarded with a moniker that can be trademarked, and not easily copied. Many generic product names such as escalator, aspirin, and kerosene are examples of product names that were not properly trademarked.

Risk Analysis If your company is currently developing a specification document, working with a series of vendors under non-disclosure, or is themselves working under non-disclosure to another company, your company may be at great risk, and not even know it. Are you protecting your proprietary information? Non-disclosure agreements don't always do it! This offering is designed to insure you know your rights and how to protect yourself.

IP For Small Business Small businesses today find themselves working with many companies who might be thought of as competitors. Indeed, many companies compete and cooperate with others at the same time. As a result, it is important that the small business protect its Intellectual Property, and makes sure that it does not misuse its partner's Intellectual Property, even if inadvertently. Special attention is paid to strategic alliances, and how to make these key business arrangements work for you.
