IP Operations Leadership Expert
Your patents protect what you do best.
How they are managed often goes unexamined.
What I Do
My work is to identify misalignments between your IP management and your business priorities, qualify their impact, and give you a solid basis for decision-making before an imbalance becomes a risk.
In most companies, patent management is outsourced to an external firm and tracked file by file, deadline by deadline. This is standard practice. It creates blind spots that neither the firm nor senior leadership can see: costs that drift, dependencies that are poorly controlled, decisions made without an overall framework.
I give company management a clear picture of their IP portfolio: what it covers, what it mobilises, and what it actually costs.
This allows them to make sharper decisions, whether in a growth phase, fundraising, divestiture or restructuring.
35 years leading patent portfolio operations, both in-house and in private practice. This rare dual perspective allows me to uncover what neither company management nor external counsel can see from where they each stand: the blind spots in how the function is run, the structural vulnerabilities, the costs that quietly drift. And to build, on that basis, an accurate diagnosis.
