“Monetizing IP” is the process of deriving value from IP assets. The ways in which business entities may generate value from IP assets are varied including IP-collateralized loans and securitizations, royalty monetization and revenue interest, spin-outs, sales, license and even litigation financing/funding. This module will provide participants with a broad sweep through these various models, a number of them being relatively new developments, and proceed to delve into greater detail in two of more common group forms – licensing & sales and pools, standards and monopolies.

At the end of this module, participants should be able to:

(i)   understand the various monetization models that may be applicable to their company,

(ii)  review their options and

(iii) propose and implement these models selectively in alignment with their company’s IP and business strategies.
