Manta has recently been retained by Wray & Associates, a Perth-based firm of Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys to conduct IP HealthChecks™ for selected clients.

These IP HealthChecks involve Manta consultants carrying out a number of activities which often include:

  • A brief review of the client's current IP position;
  • Suggestions as to how to improve or implement relevant IP management practices to support the client's commercial objectives;
  • Implementation of a simple filing system for their IP portfolio;
  • The provision and population of a simple IP asset register to record key details of the client's IP portfolio;
  • Advice on using simple 'defensive measures' to assist with the management of valuable IP assets;
  • The introduction to some simple searching utilities on the Internet which can enhance the monitoring of the 'IP environment';
  • Provision of a basic IP management reference document; and
  • A summary report of the key findings of the IP HealthCheck.

 

Benefits for the client include:

  • An enhanced understanding of their IP position and direction for future activities;
  • An easy to use and understand records management system that can grow with the client's IP portfolio;
  • An improved ability to maximise the cost-effectiveness and benefits of relationships with professional IP advisors;
  • A heightened 'IP awareness' within their organisation; and
  • Acquisition of some basic tools and knowledge to enable them to better manage their valuable IP assets.

 

Manta is pleased to be working with Wray & Associates, the longest established local firm of Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys, on this service initiative and has received positive feedback following the initial IP HealthChecks that have been conducted.

This service is of course available to other entities and Manta would welcome any enquiries from companies or organisations that believe their business would benefit from an IP HealthCheck. Please feel free to contact us should you desire to know more about this service.
