Intellectual Property Portfolio Management Services

At times, resources invested in maintaining and protecting intellectual

property are perceived as expense items, and initiatives to effectively manage

an intellectual property portfolio are undermined by a firm’s reductions

in head count, staff turnover, or budget cuts. As resources are reduced,

sizeable financial and reputational risks associated with failing to maintain

intellectual property are left unmitigated, while royalty receivables may

go uncollected.

We can help you reap the rewards of your intellectual property portfolio.

Wilmington Trust SP Services can provide a cost-effective management

solution, aimed at taking on many of the day-to-day, operational, and

functional tasks associated with maintaining an intellectual property

portfolio, large or small. To make the most of your valuable assets, take

advantage of our experience managing intellectual property portfolios—

in some or all of these ways:

• License agreement management. Documenting and centrally storing your assignment, settlement, sale and/or purchase, and license agreements are typically considered essential to ensuring that your intellectual property portfolio is comprehensively managed. We can house and track all critical documents to anticipate renewal or expiration dates, monitor changes to royalty receivables, and provide the documentary support needed in enforcement actions.

• Document management. We can provide centralized, professional maintenance of your intellectual property files, including copies of registrations, evidence of use, and correspondence from law firms. We can process filings with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and maintain a filing and renewal tickler system.

• Custody and safekeeping services. Use our custody and safekeeping services to help ensure that your hard-copy intellectual property assets are housed securely and with the utmost confidentiality. Your custody account can also be used to centralize all incoming and outgoing cash exchanges, with the option of an overnight sweep to help ensure that large cash balances earn interest income.

• Invoicing and accounts receivable management. When your intellectual property is licensed (either internally or to third parties), we can help ensure that invoices for royalty receivables are prepared and delivered, and that royalties are collected when due.

• Payment processing. When you engage outside counsel or other third party service providers to manage registrations, renewals, and enforcement, we can consolidate and manage the processing of payments for these services.

• General ledger accounting. We can provide centralized, general ledger accounting services to your intellectual property portfolio, allowing you to better analyze and forecast the financial performance of your portfolio.

• Maximizing planning opportunities. The ownership of intellectual property provides opportunities for tax planning, an area with which we have extensive expertise and experience.

• An e-Room® online repository. For every service we provide to your organization, you and your staff can have readily available, 24/7 access to each related record and report produced. The e-Room can be managed to your requirements, with access controls determined by your unique needs. Consider making e-Room the one-stop location for housing and managing your intellectual property portfolio.
