IP Resources and Training

 

We’ve all heard the one about the difference between giving and teaching.  Well, at IPLEX, we offer clients the opportunity to arm themselves with the tools and skills to manage their own intellectual property, the same way they manage most other aspects of their business.

We understand that in an ideal world, there would be no need for lawyers.  Whilst a world quite so ideal is beyond our reach, we can offer the next best thing, and that is creating the conditions to diminish the need for outsourced legal services.

This field is technical, but there are parts of it that are within grasp of non-lawyers and, believe it or not, a simple but comprehensive IP policy tailored to the needs of your business, coupled with some one-on-one or group training, goes a long way in getting staff equipped to take on some of the more rudimentary IP tasks that businesses typically outsource.

You will be amazed at the savings you are able to accomplish with a few members of staff trained to perform rudimentary tasks for which IP firms and enforcement agencies typically charge pretty hefty fees.  This solution is especially advantageous for larger enterprises with larger-than-average IP portfolios that require outsourced management.
