We will show you how to best profit from your innovation

An important aspect in the ICT is that related
with the technology involved in the innovative product or
service that a company may want to implement or commercialize.
The competitors and technological ecosystem plays a fundamental
role. Wireless Partners has the experience needed to help
your company to do the proper technological analysis as
what may be the best technology to chose, the best partners,
the potential 3rd parties patents that can be affected,
etc.
Releasing a product when the technology is
immature, or when the technology is about to be replaced
for its evolution is something that you should not do. Wireless
Partners will help you to identify the technological trend
and it situation so that you will be able to go to market
when the wave is as it maximum high. Alternatively or in
addition we will work with you to adapt your strategy to
technologies that are still in the oven.
Every company wishes that its innovative products
become the market standard, but what many companies, specially
SMEs, do not realize is that this can be achieved by participating
in the creation of industry and regulatory standards.
Wireless Partners has many years of experience in participating
in different standardization bodies and writing specifications
that lately have become world-wide standards.
We will sit with you, study your case and provide you the
best advice on whether standardization is a viable way for
your idea and how to do it. We could even participate in
your name and defend your interest at the governance organizations
of required SDOs.
IP consultancy
Patents and the Intellectual Property Rights
associated are key in today battle in the ICT field. We
have many examples of how enterprises use it to increase
their profits or benefit from competitive advantages. But
we have also examples of how SMEs may struggle to survive
due to their lack of understanding and positioning in creating
or managing their own portfolio of patents. We have actively
participated in several cases to defend the interests of
SMEs. We will show you what, when, where and how to fill
a patent and how to fit IPR into your business strategy.
Wireless Partners can provide you expert advice for the
development of patent portfolios through a careful analysis
of the standards trends and the IP landscape in relation
to your company skills.
Either if you have an existing patent portfolio and want
to increase it and focus on essential patents for standards,
or are considering start patenting and building up a portfolio,
we can show you how to make it profitable and in an efficient
way.
Our consulting service will analyze your situation to align
it with the current and future IPR direction in standards.
We also can offer you patent prosecution services
for IP portfolios in EU, US, China, India, Korea and other
areas of interest for patents for international standards.
Essential patents are key for companies involved in the
development of standards. For a manufacturer of equipment,
owning essential patents in the standards give him the possibility
to negotiate affordable royalties by cross-licensing with
other IPR owners.
For R&D companies, essential IPRs are a
way to monetize their investment in the technology across
all its world-wide implementation. Disclosed figures of
royalties for essential patents range from 0,8% to 2,5%
of the end-user price for the equipment. And most companies
have the capacity to achieve it.
Figuring out the value of your innovation is
not easy. You may have a patent which you obtained for protective
purposes and you think that it may not be worth the price
of renewing it every year. Or you may think that the innovative
ideas yoy have every other day are not woth even to written
them down to fill a patent. Well, that was like that years
ago. Today the patents landscape has changed. In the global
economy patents are income generators, either through royalties
or through cross-licensing. Let us show you how and how
you can put this to profit for you and your organization.
Alternatively you may be already aware of the value of
patents. You may have learnd it out of the news. But you
think that you do not have the right organization. You need
to set a smooth and efficient link between research-engineering
and lawyers departments within your company, and you may
think it is a challenge. Very often you will find out that
your engineers do not believe their innovation may be worth
a valuable patent, while others they will think they have
discover something valuable, without realizing it is already
patented somewhere else. In Wireless Partners we have the
experience learned from different companies and we can help
your company both to become more efficient in recognizing
and protecting your innovation.
Wireless Partners can show you how to set up your organization
and the required procedures to easily discover which of
your innovation can be patented, what is more valuable (thus
where focus for innovation has to be places) and how to
establish a fluid communication between your patent attorneys
and your engineers.
If needed, we have experienced engineers and patent attorneys
that can help your teams while they are training, or complement
them in a more permanent basis.
When attempting to understand the value of a patent in relation
to one standard, the first thing to do, before entering
in the commercial ground, is to assess is if that patent
is really essential for that standard. For example, essential
IPR declarations are made by IPR owners but often the final
standard changes, and declarations are not updated.
Wireless Partners has a network of expert engineers with
solid experience in developing standards and evaluating
and preparing patents, which can prepare solid essential
patent charts or well founded individual evaluations as
may be required by patent attorneys, patent pools, licensing
societies, courts,…
