Intellectual Property Management

 

Modern business is effective when its managers successfully control all three forms of capital: material, financial, and intellectual.

Intellectual capital management ensures business competitiveness and sustainability through legally protectable and exclusively used technical solutions. At the same time, the intellectual capital management system shapes a legal policy aimed at protecting the economic interests of your organization.

Our service consists of the development of a legal mechanism for managing intellectual capital—that is, building a system for intellectual property management within an enterprise, organization, or institution.

Intellectual property management is a set of measures integrated into the general production management system.

The first step in this set of measures should be the timely legal consolidation of rights to the results of intellectual activity (RIA) related to the products being created.

This is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for managing intellectual capital. The set of measures consists of many interrelated legal elements. One of the key legal elements in the management system is the inventory of rights to RIA. The inventory of rights to RIA allows, on the one hand, to identify the most significant dominant area for protecting economic interests, and on the other hand, to reveal new promising directions for the development of the organization’s intellectual property.

Intellectual property management is impossible without the commercialization of rights to the results of intellectual activity, which enables income generation from their use. The results of intellectual activity may be included in the organization’s asset structure as intangible assets.

Commercialization of rights to the results of intellectual activity is one of the grounds for accounting exclusive rights as intangible assets subject to depreciation, which allows the organization to:

  • receive additional income from granting the right to use the RIA to third parties or by transferring exclusive rights under contract;
  • use the RIA as collateral, on par with tangible property, when obtaining bank loans;
  • influence the taxable base.

To extract maximum benefit from the commercialization of rights to the results of intellectual activity, it is necessary to know their objective value. For this purpose, an independent valuation of exclusive rights to the RIA is conducted, which determines the market or investment value of a specific intellectual property object.

NEVA-PATENT has extensive experience in developing legal mechanisms for intellectual capital management in organizations of various legal forms of ownership.

The specialists at NEVA-PATENT also provide on-site consultations on issues of commercialization, inventory, RIA management, and more.
