TIPS is a practice area that truly sets NDQ apart from other traditional intellectual property practices. This service was designed after a decade of close collaboration with our clients and gives them the ability to take their IP to the next level by transforming it into a dynamic part of their company’s portfolio. The main objectives of our TIPS program are to add value and depth to a client's intellectual asset portfolio and assist in defining and implementing future intellectual property driven growth.
TIPS accomplishes these objectives through a dual "bottom up" and "top down" approach within a client's organization by linking and coordinating interaction between research and development, product management and marketing, and corporate management.
TIPS acts as a catalyst in directing intellectual property portfolio growth by conducting a competitive analysis of targeted competitors, along with effective revenue generation through proactive licensing and enforcement. The overall goal of TIPS is to ultimately transform a client cost center to a client profit center through unified and proactive strategies, which are implemented through cost-effective utilization of counsel.
NDQ realizes that not all clients are the same and that each may have different needs at different times. This is why TIPS and its suite of services are unique because this service can be customized on a client-need basis. NDQ is then able to alter TIPS to meet the elasticity of client’s changing demands and budgets. TIPS allows clients to choose which module, or modules, best meets their current business and intellectual property requirements.
With more than a decade of experience in active TIPS engagements with clients, NDQ has the ability to bring further success to a client’s organization through the inclusive and supportive modular approach of TIPS.
