MindForce, in effect, partners with an IP Owner who would like to get a market viewpoint about their IP portfolio.
FOR AN IP PORTFOLIO
Conduct SME Portfolio Review (Part I)
We bring a core team of subject-matter experts (SMEs) to look at multiple IP and/or ideas from a company or university, and separate
the best commercialization prospects (assuming future 'working' proof-of-concept attained) from those not marketable.
Then, we bring a larger number of diverse cross-industry SMEs to review the IP portfolio, usually including a cohesive summary IP write-ups we've developed, and decide which IPs or ideas merit further investigation.
This collaborative "wisdom of crowds" process is designed to spot "eureka" innovation opportunities as we have such a diversity of experts looking at IP through their own industry experiential lenses, and also to
see which IP stands out from all others due to the voting process we undertake. At the end of our review process, we will have identified a core group of IP that has the
highest potential of commerialization success.
Evaluate IP Portfolio; Select "Best" IP, Form Teams And Actively Market (Part II)
We evaluate an IP Portfolio and through our review process, as described in Part I, we find the best IP to commercialize.
From this IP pool, we work with our client, to select the very best opportunities and form, on a case by case basis, either Licensing Teams or Venture Teams to
find licensees or to start a company.
